    If z is a complex number such that \[z=-\bar{z},\] then

    A)  z is purely real

    B)  z is purely imaginary

    C)  z is any complex number

    D)  real part of z is the same as its imaginary part 

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let  \[z=x+iy\] Given,  \[z=-\bar{z}\] \[\therefore \]  \[x+iy=-(\overline{x+iy})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x+iy=-(x-iy)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2x=0\]  \[\Rightarrow \]              \[x=0\] Hence, z is a purely imaginary.
