Question
Let z be a complex number such that the imaginary part of z is nonzero and a = z2 + z + 1 is real. Then acannot take the value
Options
A.- 1
B.

C.

D.

Solution
Given equation is z2 + z + 1 - a = 0
Clearly this equation do not have real roots if
D < 0
⇒ 1 - 4(1 - a) < 0
⇒ 4a < 3

Clearly this equation do not have real roots if
D < 0
⇒ 1 - 4(1 - a) < 0
⇒ 4a < 3
