The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions about the complex numbers representing points P and Q on the Argand plane. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Points**: - Let \( P \) be represented by the complex number \( z_1 = a + ib \). - Let \( Q \) be represented by the complex number \( z_2 = c + id \). - Both points lie on a straight line through the origin \( O \). 2. **Distance from Origin**: - The distance from the origin \( O \) to point \( P \) is given by the modulus of \( z_1 \), which is \( |z_1| = |a + ib| \). - The distance from the origin \( O \) to point \( Q \) is given by the modulus of \( z_2 \), which is \( |z_2| = |c + id| \). 3. **Equality of Distances**: - We are given that \( OP = OQ \). This means that the distances from the origin to points \( P \) and \( Q \) are equal: \[ |z_1| = |z_2| \] - Therefore, we have: \[ |a + ib| = |c + id| \] 4. **Magnitude Calculation**: - The magnitude of a complex number \( x + iy \) is calculated as: \[ |x + iy| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \] - Applying this to our complex numbers: \[ |a + ib| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \] \[ |c + id| = \sqrt{c^2 + d^2} \] 5. **Setting the Magnitudes Equal**: - From the equality of distances, we can set up the equation: \[ \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{c^2 + d^2} \] 6. **Squaring Both Sides**: - To eliminate the square roots, we square both sides: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 + d^2 \] 7. **Conclusion**: - The condition that must hold true given the problem statement is: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 + d^2 \] - This means that the sum of the squares of the real and imaginary parts of \( z_1 \) is equal to the sum of the squares of the real and imaginary parts of \( z_2 \). ### Final Answer: The correct condition is \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 + d^2 \). ---
