 Since z is purely imaginary, So Re(z)=0

\Rightarrow a^{2}-3a+2=0\: \Rightarrow \, a=1, \: or\: a=2

But it is given Im\left ( z \right )\neq 0 \: so\: a\neq1

Hence a=2

\therefore Option (B)

 

Purely Imaginary Complex Number -

z=x+iy, \boldsymbol{x=0}, y\epsilon R

& i2=-1

- wherein

Real part of z = Re (z) = x & Imaginary part of z = Im (z) = y
