The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the properties of a rhombus in the complex plane. The vertices of the rhombus are represented by the complex numbers \( P(z_1), Q(z_2), R(z_3), S(z_4) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Properties of a Rhombus**: - In a rhombus, opposite sides are equal and the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. - The diagonals of a rhombus are not equal in length. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - We will check each option one by one. 3. **Option 1**: \( \frac{z_1 - z_4}{z_2 - z_3} \) is purely real. - Here, \( z_1 - z_4 \) represents one diagonal (let's say \( PS \)) and \( z_2 - z_3 \) represents the other diagonal (let's say \( QR \)). - Since \( PS \) is parallel to \( QR \), the argument of \( \frac{z_1 - z_4}{z_2 - z_3} \) is 0, which means it is purely real. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 4. **Option 2**: \( \frac{z_1 - z_3}{z_2 - z_4} \) is purely imaginary. - Here, \( z_1 - z_3 \) represents one diagonal (let's say \( PR \)) and \( z_2 - z_4 \) represents the other diagonal (let's say \( QS \)). - The diagonals intersect at right angles, hence the argument of \( \frac{z_1 - z_3}{z_2 - z_4} \) is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \), indicating it is purely imaginary. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 5. **Option 3**: \( |z_1 - z_3| \neq |z_2 - z_4| \). - Since the diagonals of a rhombus are not equal, we have \( |z_1 - z_3| \neq |z_2 - z_4| \). - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 6. **Option 4**: \( \frac{\text{arg}(z_1 - z_4)}{z_2 - z_4} \neq \frac{\text{arg}(z_2 - z_4)}{z_3 - z_4} \). - The angles between the diagonals and the sides of the rhombus do not necessarily have a specific relationship that would make this statement true. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The correct options are: 1. \( \frac{z_1 - z_4}{z_2 - z_3} \) is purely real. 2. \( \frac{z_1 - z_3}{z_2 - z_4} \) is purely imaginary. 3. \( |z_1 - z_3| \neq |z_2 - z_4| \).
