Among the statements
(S1) : The set and is purely real} contains exactly two elements, and
(S2) : The set and is purely imaginary} contains infinitely many elements.
  1. (A)both are incorrect
  2. (B)only (S1) is correct
  3. (C)only (S2) is correct✓ Correct
  4. (D)both are correct

Answer: (C)

Solution

Take on the unit circle. The quotient is purely real exactly when and point along the same line, that is when , and are collinear, so lies on the imaginary axis; together with this leaves or , and since is excluded only remains. The first set therefore has a single element, so its claim of exactly two elements is false. For the second set, writing gives , which is purely imaginary for every admissible with ; hence that set contains infinitely many elements and its statement is true. Thus only the second statement holds.
