  1. An analytic function of a complex variable z = x + iy is expressed as f(z) = u(x, y) + i v(x, y) where i = √-1. If u = xy, the expression for v should be
    1. (x + y)2
      + k
      2

    2. x2 - y2
      + k
      2

    3. y2 - x2
      + k
      2

    4. (x - y)2
      + k
      2

Correct Option: C

Given u = x,y
For analytic function

∂u
=
∂v
∂x∂y

and
∂u
= -
∂v
∂y∂x

By Milne Thomson method
Let w = u + zv
dw
=
∂y
+ i
∂v
dz∂x∂x

=
∂u
- i
∂u
∂x∂y

or
dw
= y - ix
dz

Replacing x by z and y by 0, we get
dw
= 0 - iz
dz

where , z = x + iy
∴ dw = - iz dz
Integrating , w = -i
z2
+ C
2

where C is a constant ,
∴ V = Im -i
z2
+ C
2

= Im -i
(x2 - y2 + 2ixy)
+ C
2

or V =
y2 - x2
2
