The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions and apply properties of complex numbers and geometry. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Condition We are given that: \[ \frac{z_3 - z_2}{z_1 - z_2} \text{ is purely imaginary.} \] This means that the argument (angle) of the complex number \(\frac{z_3 - z_2}{z_1 - z_2}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) or \(-\frac{\pi}{2}\). Therefore, we can write: \[ \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) - \text{arg}(z_1 - z_2) = \frac{\pi}{2} \quad \text{(or -}\frac{\pi}{2}\text{)}. \] ### Step 2: Establishing the Geometry Since a square is drawn outwardly on side \(AC\), we denote the vertices of the square as \(A\), \(C\), and \(P\) (the center of the square). The center \(P\) can be expressed in terms of \(A\) and \(C\). ### Step 3: Finding the Center of the Square The center \(P\) of the square on side \(AC\) can be calculated as: \[ P = \frac{A + C}{2} + \frac{i}{2} (C - A), \] where \(i\) represents the imaginary unit, indicating a rotation by \(90^\circ\). ### Step 4: Using the Properties of Cyclic Quadrilaterals Since \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(P\) form a cyclic quadrilateral, we can use the property that the opposite angles sum to \(180^\circ\). This gives us: \[ \angle ABP + \angle ACP = 180^\circ. \] ### Step 5: Finding the Argument Relations From the cyclic nature, we can express the arguments: 1. Let \(\text{arg}(z_1 - z_2) = -\alpha\). 2. Let \(\text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) = \alpha\). Now, we can write: \[ \text{arg}(z_1 - z_2) + \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) = 0. \] ### Step 6: Finalizing the Argument By adding the arguments, we have: \[ \text{arg}(z_1 - z_2) + \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) = -\alpha + \alpha = 0. \] Thus, we conclude that: \[ \text{arg}(z_1 - z_2) + \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) = 0. \] ### Conclusion The final result is: \[ \text{arg}(z_1 - z_2) + \text{arg}(z_3 - z_2) = 0. \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions and apply properties of complex numbers and geometry. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Condition We are given that: \[ \frac{z_3 - z_2}{z_1 - z_2} \text{ is purely imaginary.} \] ...
