EAMCET exam is for entering in to the statewide Engineering colleges.

In this exam questions are given in Objective Type only. In EAMCET objective questions
occurs based on basic concepts of Intermediate books
In EAMCET, both speed and strike-rate matter. You need to be quick as well as accurate
to achieve high scores.
Master the fundamentals, practice a lot, and manage your time to get good rank

z zi = z + zi
Hint :
imaginary part differ
y = 0 Locus is x - axis
If z1 , z2 be two roots of z + az + b = 0 , origin and

z1 , z2 from equilateral triangle then

Hint : z1 + z2 = a
z1 z2 = b and z3 = 0
condition of equilateral triangle
z12 + z22 + z32 = z1 z2 + z2 z3 + z3 z1
z12 + z22 + 0 = z1 z2 + 0 + 0
