The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

(0,p√2)(3√2,0)

\(\sqrt{(3\sqrt2​)^2+(p\sqrt2​)^2​=5\sqrt2​ }\)
\(18+2p^2=50 \)
\(p^2=16 \)
\(p=±4\) 
The correct option is (C): \(4\)

Complex Number

A Complex Number is written in the form

a + ib

where,

  • “a” is a real number
  • “b” is an imaginary number

The Complex Number consists of a symbol “i” which satisfies the condition i^2 = −1. Complex Numbers are mentioned as the extension of one-dimensional number lines. In a complex plane, a Complex Number indicated as a + bi is usually represented in the form of the point (a, b). We have to pay attention that a Complex Number with absolutely no real part, such as – i, -5i, etc, is called purely imaginary. Also, a Complex Number with perfectly no imaginary part is known as a real number.
