C34

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

The complex number z=x+iy be such that 2z-3i2z+i is purely imaginary,

Now putting the value of z=x+iy in 2z-3i2z+i we get,

2x+iy-3i2x+iy+i=2x+i2y-32x+i2y+12x-i2y+12x-i2y+1

Now taking real part as,

4x2+2y-32y+14x2+2y+12=0

4x2+4y2-4y-3=0

x2+y2-y-34=0

Now using,

 x+y2=0x=-y2 we get,

x2+y2-y-34=0

y4+y2-y-34=0

y4+y2-y=34
