Q.
Let Z and W be complex numbers such that ∣Z∣=∣W∣ and arg Z denotes the principal argument of Z. Statement 1: If arg Z+ arg W=π, then Z=−W. Statement 2:∣Z∣=∣W∣, implies arg Z−arg W=π.

Solution:
Let ∣Z∣=∣W∣=r ⇒Z=reiθ,W=reiϕ
where θ+ϕ=π ∴=−W=re−iϕ
Now, Z=rei(π−ϕ)=reiπ×e−iϕ =−W
Thus, statement-1 is true but statement-2 is false.
