C
For any two non-zero complex numbers and , is an integer multiple of
D
For any three given distinct complex numbers , the locus of the point satisfying lies on a straight line
Compute the principal argument directly for (A). For (B) check the left and right limits of as . For (C) use the identity . For (D), recognize the expression as a cross-ratio condition for concyclicity.
: We must identify which of the four statements about principal arguments are FALSE.
: Evaluate each statement directly using the definition , checking limits for continuity and using the standard argument-of-quotient identity for (C), and cross-ratio geometry for (D).
:
lies in the third quadrant. Its reference angle is , so the principal argument is , not . So (A) is FALSE.
At : . As , the point sits just above the negative real axis (second quadrant), so . As , the point sits just below the negative real axis (third quadrant), so its principal argument approaches (not ), since arguments near the negative real axis from below jump to values near . So : has a jump discontinuity at . So (B), which claims continuity everywhere, is FALSE.
For non-zero complex : and can differ only by an integer multiple of (since both are arguments of the same complex number modulo ). Hence is always an integer multiple of . This statement is TRUE, so it is not one of the false ones.
Writing the condition as , a fixed constant depending on : this says the segment subtends a constant angle at , which is the classical locus of an arc of a circle through and (the inscribed-angle circle), not a straight line in general (a straight line only arises in the degenerate case where that constant angle is or , which need not hold for arbitrary distinct ). So the claim "lies on a straight line" is FALSE in general.
: For (A), a quick sketch of in the Argand plane confirms it is in the third quadrant, ruling out the first-quadrant-looking value . For (B), plugging in numerically gives , far from , confirming the jump. For (D), the standard cross-ratio-real criterion for four points being concyclic or collinear confirms that a constant non- argument value describes a genuine circular arc.
: The FALSE statements are (A), (B), (D).
