The correct answer is: 52

Let arg3z12z2=θ, and we know that, if the argz=α, then arg1z=-α.

 arg2z23z1=-θ

Also, we know that a complex number w can be expressed as w=wcosα+isinα, where α is the argument of the complex number.

 z=32z1z2cosθ+isinθ+23z2z1cosθ-isinθ

Given, 3z1=4z2,  z1z2=43,

z=32×43cosθ+isinθ+23×34cosθ-isinθ

z=2cosθ+isinθ+12cosθ-isinθ

z=52cosθ+32sinθi

 z=254cos2θ+94sin2θ

Now, using sin2θ+cos2θ=1, we get

z=254cos2θ+941-cos2θ

z=4cos2θ+94

And, we know that the maximum value of cosθ is 1.
 zmax=4+94=52.
