If and are two complex numbers such that , then is
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: A —
Solution
- The given condition represents the equality case of the triangle inequality for complex numbers.
- This equality holds if and only if for some positive real constant .
- Since and are positive scalar multiples of each other, they have the same argument, meaning .
- Therefore, the difference .
- Hence the answer is (A).
