Correct Answer :

Option B

1

Solution :

To find the value of k for which the function F(z) satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations, we first express F(z) in terms of its real and imaginary parts.

We are given:
z=x+iy
where x=Re(z) and y=Im(z).

The function is given by:
F(z)=iz+kRe(z)+iIm(z)

Substitute z=x+iy, Re(z)=x, and Im(z)=y into the expression:
F(z)=i(x+iy)+kx+iy
F(z)=ix-y+kx+iy

Grouping the real and imaginary parts, we get:
F(z)=(kx-y)+i(x+y)

Thus, the real part u(x,y) and the imaginary part v(x,y) are:
u(x,y)=kx-y
v(x,y)=x+y

For F(z) to satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations, the following partial derivatives must be equal:
1) βˆ‚uβˆ‚x=βˆ‚vβˆ‚y
2) βˆ‚uβˆ‚y=-βˆ‚vβˆ‚x

Let's calculate the partial derivatives:
βˆ‚uβˆ‚x=βˆ‚βˆ‚x(kx-y)=k
βˆ‚uβˆ‚y=βˆ‚βˆ‚y(kx-y)=-1
βˆ‚vβˆ‚x=βˆ‚βˆ‚x(x+y)=1
βˆ‚vβˆ‚y=βˆ‚βˆ‚y(x+y)=1

Checking the second equation:
βˆ‚uβˆ‚y=-1 and -βˆ‚vβˆ‚x=-1
This equation is satisfied for any value of k.

Checking the first equation:
βˆ‚uβˆ‚x=βˆ‚vβˆ‚yβ‡’k=1

Therefore, F(z) satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equations when k=1.
