Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Questions and Answers Part-5

1. A particle P starts from the point \[z_{0}=1+2i\]   , where \[i=\sqrt{-1}\]   . It moves first horizontally away from the origin by 5 units and then vertically away from the origin by 3 units to reach a point \[z_{1}\] . From \[z_{1}\] the particle moves \[\sqrt{2}\] units in the direction of \[\hat{i}+\hat{j}\]  and then it moves through an angle \[\pi/2\] in the anticlockwise direction on a circle with centre at origin, to reach point \[z_{2}\]. The point \[z_{2}\] is given by
a) 6+7i
