    Number of solutions of the equation, \[{{z}^{3}}+\frac{3{{\left| z \right|}^{2}}}{z}=0,\] where z is a complex number and \[|z|=\sqrt{3}\] is

    A) 2                     

    B) 3    

    C) 6                     

    D) 4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{z}^{3}}+\frac{3{{\left| z \right|}^{2}}}{z}=0,\,\,\,\Rightarrow {{z}^{3}}+\frac{3z\,.\,\bar{z}}{z}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{z}^{3}}+3\bar{z}=0\] Let \[z=r{{e}^{i\theta }}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{{r}^{3}}{{e}^{i3\theta }}+3r{{e}^{-i\theta }}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{e}^{i4\theta }}=\,\,-1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\ [\because \,\,\,r=\sqrt{3}]\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,cos4\theta +i sin 4\theta  = -1\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,cos4\,\theta =-1\]                                   ... (i) Now \[0 \le  \theta  < 2\pi  \Rightarrow  0 \le  4\theta  < 8\pi \] \[\therefore  \,\,\,\theta =\pi ,\,\,3\pi ,\,\,5\pi ,\,\,7\pi \]
