Let \(\mathrm{z}\in \mathrm{C}\) be such that \(\frac{{\mathrm{z}}^{2}+3\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{z}-2+\mathrm{i}}=2+3\mathrm{i}\). Then the sum of all possible values of \({z}^{2}\) is

[JEE Main 2025, 3 Apr (Shift 1)]

a

\(19-2\mathrm{i}\)

b

\(-19-2\mathrm{i}\)

c

\(19+2\mathrm{i}\)

d

\(-19+2\mathrm{i}\)

✓ Correct answer: b)

\(-19-2\mathrm{i}\)

Explanation

\(\frac{z^2+3i}{z-2+i}=2+3i\)

\(z^2+3i=(z-2+i)(2+3i)\)

\(z^2+3i=2z-4+2i+3iz-6i-3\)

\(z^2+3i=(2z-7)+i(3z-4)\)

\(z^2-(2+3i)z+(7+7i)=0\)

This is a quadratic in \(z\).

\(z_1+z_2=2+3i\)

\(z_1z_2=7+7i\)

\(z_1^2+z_2^2=(z_1+z_2)^2-2z_1z_2\)

\(=(2+3i)^2-2(7+7i)\)

\(=4-9+12i-14-14i\)

\(=-19-2i\)
