Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle pm - qn = 0\text{ and } pn + qm \neq 0[/tex]

Or:

[tex]pm = qn \text{ and } pn + qm \neq 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two complex numbers:

[tex]\displaystyle m + ni \text{ and } p + qi[/tex]

Where m, n, p, and q are real numbers.

And we want to determine the relationship among m, n, p, and q such that the product of the two complex numbers will only have an imaginary part.

Find the product:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (m+ni)(p+qi) &= p(m+ni) + qi(m+ni) \\ &= (pm + pni) + (qmi + qni^2) \\ &= (pm + pni) + (qmi - qn) \\ &= (pm - qn) + i(pn + qm) \end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, for the product to have only an imaginary part, the real part must be zero and the imaginary part must not be zero. That is:

[tex]\displaystyle pm - qn = 0\text{ and } pn + qm \neq 0[/tex]

In conclusion, the relationship between m, n, p, and q is:

[tex]\displaystyle pm - qn = 0\text{ and } pn + qm \neq 0[/tex]

Or:

[tex]pm = qn \text{ and } pn + qm \neq 0[/tex]

(Note: I couldn't understand the provided answer choices, but the above answer is indeed correct (and the second equation can be ignored).)
