    The greatest and the least value of \[|{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}|\] if \[{{z}_{1}}=24+7i\] and \[|{{z}_{2}}|=6\] respectively are

    A) \[25,\,\,19\]          

    B) \[19,\,\,25\]

    C) \[-19,\,\,-25\]        

    D) \[-25,\,\,-19\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\left| {{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}} \right|\le \left| {{z}_{1}} \right|+\left| {{z}_{2}} \right|=\left| 24+7i \right|+6=25+6=31\] Also, \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\left| {{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}} \right|=\,\,\left| {{z}_{1}}-(-{{z}_{2}}) \right|\ge \left| \left| {{z}_{1}} \right|-\left| {{z}_{2}} \right| \right|\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\left| {{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}} \right|\,\,\ge \,\,\left| 25-6 \right|=19\] Hence the least value of \[\left| {{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}} \right|\] is 19 and the greatest value is 25.
