Q1 (4)

If a complex number is purely imaginary, then it must be equal to negative of its conjugate.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
z−α z−α z−α

z̄ −α
⇒ = −( ) ⇒ = −( )
z+α z+α z+α z̄ +α

→
⇒ (z − α)(z + α) = (z + α)(z − α) →

2 2
⇒ zz̄ + αz − αz̄ − α = − (zz − αz + αz̄ − α )

2 2

⇒ |z| = α

⇒ α
2
= 4[∵ |z| = 2]

⇒ α = ±2

Q2 (1)

Let z 1
= x + iy and z 2
= p − iq , where x, q > 0

Given, |z 1
| = |z2 |

⇒ x

+ y
2
= p
2
+ q
2
…  (i) 

Rationalize the above term.

z1 + z2 [(x + p) + i(y − q)][(x − p) − i(y + q)]

=
z1 − z2 [(x − p) + i(y + q)][(x − p) − i(y + q)]

2 2 2 2
(x − p ) − i(x + p)(y + q) + i(x − p)(y − q) + (y − q )
=
(x − p)2 + (y − q)2

2 2 2 2

(x + y ) − (p + q ) − 2i(xq + yp)
=
(x − p)2 + (y − q)2

−2i(xq + yp)
2 2 2 2
= … ( ii ) {(x + y ) = (p + q )}
2 2
(x − p) + (y + q)

If xq + yp ≠ 0, then it is purely imaginary and if

x y
xq + yp = 0 or  = − = λ[ say ]
p q

⇒ x = pλ, y = −qλ

From Eq. (i), we get

2 2 2 2 2
p + q = λ (p + q )

⇒ λ
2
= 1

⇒ λ = ±1

For λ = −1 and z 1
≠ z2 , but

|z1 | = |z2 |

In this case, Eq. (ii) is zero.

Given, α − iβ = ( 3+i(4x)
)

3+i(−4x)
∣ ∣
⇒ |α + i(−β)| =

 or  − 24|z| ≤ |z| − 25 ≤ 24|z|
2 2

∴ |z| + 24|z| − 25 ≥ 0 and |z| − 24|z| − 25 ≤ 0

⇒ (|z| + 25)(|z| − 1) ≥ 0 and (|z| − 25)(|z| + 1) ≤ 0

∴ |z| − 1 ≥ 0 and |z| − 25 ≤ 0

Hence, 1 ≤ |z| ≤ 25

z−i
∣ = |w| = 1
∣ (given)

∣ 1 − iz ∣ ∣ z1 ∣ |z1 |
⇒ ∣ ∣ = 1 ∵ ∣ ∣ =
∣ z − i ∣ ∣ z2 ∣ |z2 |

⇒ |1 − iz| = |z − i|

⇒ |1 − i(x + iy)| = |(x + iy) − i|

⇒ |(1 + y) − ix| = |x + i(y − 1)|

2 2 2 2
⇒ √[(1 + y) + (−x) ] = √[x + (y − 1) ]

2 2 2 2
⇒ (1 + y) + x = x + (y − 1)

2 2 2 2
⇒ 1 + 2y + y + x = x + y − 2y + 1

 or, 4y = 0 ∴ y = 0

From this it is known that the locus of z, is y = 0, which is a real axis. Therefore, z is situated on real axis.

Q15 (1)

Let z = x + iy

then x + y = 1 … … … . . (i)

if x > 0, y < 0

then x − y = 1 … … … . . (ii)

if x < 0, y > 0

then −x + y = 1 … … …. (iii)

if x < 0, y < 0

then −x − y = 1 … … . . . . (iv)

All fours lines (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) represent straight line and forms a square

Q16 (2)

Let us assume that z lies on a circle with centre z (fixed point) and radius
0
1

2
units. ⇒ |z − z 0| =
1

Now, ω = −1 + 4z ⇒ ω + 1 = 4z

⇒ ω + 1 − 4z0 = 4z − 4z0

Now, taking modulus on both sides, we get,

|ω + 1 − 4z0 | = 4 |z − z0 | ⇒ |ω + 1 − 4z0 | = 2

Locus of ω represents the circle having centre (−1 + 4z 0) and radius 2 units.
