Solution
Given O be the origin and A be the point z1=1+2i,
B is the point z2,Re(z2)<0,
Also OAB is a right angled isosceles triangle with OB as hypotenuse,
Plotting the diagram we get,
Now by using concept of rotation we get,
(1+2i)−0z2−0=∣OA∣∣OB∣e4iπ
⇒1+2iz2=2e4iπ
Orz2=(1+2i)(1+i)
=−1+3i
Now finding argz2=π−tan−1∣1∣∣3∣=π−tan−13
Now ∣z2∣=12+32=10
Now solving z1−2z2=(1+2i)+2−6i=3−4i
So, arg(z1−2z2)=−tan−134
Now solving ∣2z1−z2∣=∣2+4i+1−3i∣=∣3+i∣
=10
So, ∣2z1−z2∣=5 is not true.
