Q51
If Re(z12z+i)=1{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} \left( {{{z - 1} \over {2z + i}}} \right) = 1, where z = x + iy, then the point (x, y) lies on a :
A straight line whose slope is 32{3 \over 2}
B straight line whose slope is 23-{2 \over 3}
C circle whose diameter is 52{{\sqrt 5 } \over 2}
D circle whose centre is at (12,32)\left( { - {1 \over 2}, - {3 \over 2}} \right)
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
Re(z12z+i)=1{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} \left( {{{z - 1} \over {2z + i}}} \right) = 1

Put z = x + iy \therefore

Re((x+iy)12(x+iy)+i)=1{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} \left( {{{\left( {x + iy} \right) - 1} \over {2\left( {x + iy} \right) + i}}} \right) = 1

\Rightarrow

Re(((x1)+iy2x+i(2y+1))(2xi(2y+1)2xi(2y+1)))=1{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} \left( {\left( {{{\left( {x - 1} \right) + iy} \over {2x + i\left( {2y + 1} \right)}}} \right)\left( {{{2x - i\left( {2y + 1} \right)} \over {2x - i\left( {2y + 1} \right)}}} \right)} \right) = 1

\Rightarrow

Re({(x1)+iy}{2xi(2y+1)}4x2+(2y+1)2)=1{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} \left( {{{\left\{ {\left( {x - 1} \right) + iy} \right\}\left\{ {2x - i\left( {2y + 1} \right)} \right\}} \over {4{x^2} + {{\left( {2y + 1} \right)}^2}}}} \right) = 1

Real part of this equation is = 1 \therefore

2x(x1)+y(2y+1)4x2+(2y+1)2{{2x\left( {x - 1} \right) + y\left( {2y + 1} \right)} \over {4{x^2} + {{\left( {2y + 1} \right)}^2}}}

= 1 \Rightarrow 2x2 + 2y2 +2x + 3y + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow x2 + y2 +x +

32{3 \over 2}

y +

12{1 \over 2}

= 0 This is an equation of circle. \therefore Locus is a circle whose center is

(12,34)\left( { - {1 \over 2}, - {3 \over 4}} \right)

and radius

54{{\sqrt 5 } \over 4}

\therefore Diameter = 2 ×\times

54{{\sqrt 5 } \over 4}

=

52{{\sqrt 5 } \over 2}

Solution
 z1985+z100+1=0&z3+2z2+2z+1=0(z+1)(z2z+1)+2z(z+1)=0(z+1)(z2+z+1)=0z=1,z=w,w2 Now putting z=1 not satisfy  Now put z=ww1985+w100+1w2+w+1=0 Also, z=w2w3970+w200+1w+w2+1=0\begin{array}{ll} \text{ } & z^{1985}+z^{100}+1=0 \& z^3+2 z^2+2 z+1=0 \\ & (z+1)\left(z^2-z+1\right)+2 z(z+1)=0 \\ & (z+1)\left(z^2+z+1\right)=0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & z=-1, \quad z=w, w^2 \\ & \text{ Now putting } z=-1 \text{ not satisfy } \\ & \text{ Now put } z=w \\ \Rightarrow \quad & w^{1985}+w^{100}+1 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & w^2+w+1=0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \text{ Also, } z=w^2 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & w^{3970}+w^{200}+1 \\ \Rightarrow & w+w^2+1=0 \end{array}

Q53
Let the lines (2 - i)z = (2 + i)z\overline z and (2 ++ i)z + (i - 2)z\overline z - 4i = 0, (here i2 = -1) be normal to a circle C. If the line iz + z\overline z + 1 + i = 0 is tangent to this circle C, then its radius is :
A 322{3 \over {2\sqrt 2 }}
B 323\sqrt 2
C 122{1 \over {2\sqrt 2 }}
D 32{3 \over {\sqrt 2 }}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
(2i)z=(2+i)z(2 - i)z = (2 + i)\overline z
(2i)(x+iy)=(2+i)(xiy)\Rightarrow (2 - i)(x + iy) = (2 + i)(x - iy)
2xix+2iy+y=2x+ix2iy+y\Rightarrow 2x - ix + 2iy + y = 2x + ix - 2 - iy + y
2ix4iy=0\Rightarrow 2ix - 4iy = 0
L1:x2y=0{L_1}:x - 2y = 0
(2+i)z+(i2)z4i=0\Rightarrow (2 + i)z + (i - 2)\overline z - 4i = 0
(2+i)(x+iy)+(i2)(xiy)4i=0\Rightarrow (2 + i)(x + iy) + (i - 2)(x - iy) - 4i = 0
2x+ix+2iyy+ix2x+y+2iy4i=0\Rightarrow 2x + ix + 2iy - y + ix - 2x + y + 2iy - 4i = 0
2ix+4iy4i=0\Rightarrow 2ix + 4iy - 4i = 0
L2:x+2y2=0{L_2}:x + 2y - 2 = 0

Solve L1 and L2: x = 1,

4y=2,y=124y = 2,y = {1 \over 2}

\therefore

x=1x = 1

Centre

(1,12)\left( {1,{1 \over 2}} \right)
L3:iz+z+1+i=0{L_3}:iz + \overline z + 1 + i = 0
i(x+iy)+xiy+1+i=0\Rightarrow i(x + iy) + x - iy + 1 + i = 0
ixy+xiy+1+i=0\Rightarrow ix - y + x - iy + 1 + i = 0
(xy+1)+i(xy+1)=0\Rightarrow (x - y + 1) + i(x - y + 1) = 0

Radius = distance from

(1,12)\left( {1,{1 \over 2}} \right)

to

xy+1=0x - y + 1 = 0

\Rightarrow

r=112+12r = {{1 - {1 \over 2} + 1} \over {\sqrt 2 }}

\Rightarrow

r=322r = {3 \over {2\sqrt 2 }}
Q54
Let a complex number z, |z| \ne 1, satisfy log12(z+11(z1)2)2{\log _{{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}}}\left( {{{|z| + 11} \over {{{(|z| - 1)}^2}}}} \right) \le 2. Then, the largest value of |z| is equal to ____________.
A 5
B 8
C 6
D 7
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
z+11(z1)212{{|z| + 11} \over {{{(|z| - 1)}^2}}} \ge {1 \over 2}
2z+22(z1)22|z| + 22 \ge {(|z| - 1)^2}
2z+22z22z+12|z| + 22 \ge \,|z{|^2} - 2|z| + 1
z24z210|z{|^2} - 4|z| - 21 \le 0
(z7)(z+3)0(|z| - 7)(|z| + 3) \le 0
z7\Rightarrow \,|z| \le 7

\therefore

zmax=7|z{|_{\max }} = 7
Q55
The least value of |z| where z is complex number which satisfies the inequality exp((z+3)(z1)z+1loge2)log257+9i,i=1\exp \left( {{{(|z| + 3)(|z| - 1)} \over {||z| + 1|}}{{\log }_e}2} \right) \ge {\log _{\sqrt 2 }}|5\sqrt 7 + 9i|,i = \sqrt { - 1} , is equal to :
A 8
B 3
C 2
D 5\sqrt 5
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Let | z | = t, t \ge 0

e(t+3)(t1)t+1loge2log216=8{e^{{{(t + 3)(t - 1)} \over {t + 1}}{{\log }_e}2}} \ge {\log _{\sqrt 2 }}16 = 8

(\because t + 1 > 0)

2(t+3)(t1)t+123{2^{{{(t + 3)(t - 1)} \over {t + 1}}}} \ge {2^3}
(t+3)(t1)t+13{{(t + 3)(t - 1)} \over {t + 1}} \ge 3
t2+2t33t+3{t^2} + 2t - 3 \ge 3t + 3
t2t60{t^2} - t - 6 \ge 0
t(,2)[3,)t \in ( - \infty , - 2) \cup [3,\infty )

But t \ge 0 \therefore

t[3,)t \in [3,\infty )

Q57
If the equation az2+αz+αz+d=0a|z{|^2} + \overline {\overline \alpha z + \alpha \overline z } + d = 0 represents a circle where a, d are real constants then which of the following condition is correct?
A |α\alpha|2 - ad \ne 0
B |α\alpha|2 - ad > 0 and a\inR - {0}
C |α\alpha|2 - ad \ge 0 and a\inR
D α\alpha = 0, a, d\inR+
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
az2+αz+αz+d=0a|z{|^2} + \alpha \overline z + \overline \alpha z + d = 0

\Rightarrow

zz+(αa)z+(αa)z+da=0z\overline z + \left( {{\alpha \over a}} \right)\overline z + \left( {{{\overline \alpha } \over a}} \right)z + {d \over a} = 0

\therefore Centre

=αa= - {\alpha \over a}
r=αa2dar = \sqrt {{{\left| {{\alpha \over a}} \right|}^2} - {d \over a}}
αa2da\Rightarrow {\left| {{\alpha \over a}} \right|^2} \ge {d \over a}
α2ad\Rightarrow {\left| \alpha \right|^2} \ge ad
Q58
Let a complex number be w = 1 - 3{\sqrt 3 }i. Let another complex number z be such that |zw| = 1 and arg(z) - arg(w) = π2{\pi \over 2}. Then the area of the triangle with vertices origin, z and w is equal to :
A 4
B 14{1 \over 4}
C 2
D 12{1 \over 2}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Given, w = 1 -

3\sqrt 3

i

w=(1)2+(3)2=2\Rightarrow |w| = \sqrt {{{(1)}^2} + {{( - \sqrt 3 )}^2}} = 2

Also, given | zw | = 1 \Rightarrow | z | | w | = 1 (using property) \Rightarrow | z | =

12{1 \over 2}

Also, arg(z) - arg(w) =

π2{{\pi {} } \over 2}

\therefore Angle between two complex number z and w is

π2{{\pi {} } \over 2}

. \therefore

zow=π2\angle zow = {{\pi {} } \over 2}

\therefore

Δ\Delta

zow is a right angle triangle with base

ow=2ow = 2

and height

oz=12oz = {1 \over 2}

\therefore Area =

12×2×12=12{1 \over 2} \times 2 \times {1 \over 2} = {1 \over 2}
Q59
If z and ω\omega are two complex numbers such that zω=1\left| {z\omega } \right| = 1 and arg(z)arg(ω)=3π2\arg (z) - \arg (\omega ) = {{3\pi } \over 2}, then arg(12zω1+3zω)\arg \left( {{{1 - 2\overline z \omega } \over {1 + 3\overline z \omega }}} \right) is : (Here arg(z) denotes the principal argument of complex number z)
A π4{\pi \over 4}
B 3π4 - {{3\pi } \over 4}
C π4 - {\pi \over 4}
D 3π4{{3\pi } \over 4}
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

As

zω=1\left| {z\omega } \right| = 1

\Rightarrow If

z=r\left| z \right| = r

, then

ω=1r\left| \omega \right| = {1 \over r}

Let

arg(z)=θ\arg (z) = \theta

\therefore

arg(ω)=(θ3π2)\arg (\omega ) = \left( {\theta - {{3\pi } \over 2}} \right)

So,

z=reiθz = r{e^{i\theta }}
z=reiθ\Rightarrow \overline z = r{e^{i\theta }}
ω=1rei(θ3π2)\omega = {1 \over r}{e^{i\left( {\theta - {{3\pi } \over 2}} \right)}}

Now, consider

12zω1+3zω=12ei(3π2)1+3ei(3π2)=(12i1+3i){{1 - 2\overline z \omega } \over {1 + 3\overline z \omega }} = {{1 - 2{e^{i\left( { - {{3\pi } \over 2}} \right)}}} \over {1 + 3{e^{i\left( { - {{3\pi } \over 2}} \right)}}}} = \left( {{{1 - 2i} \over {1 + 3i}}} \right)
=(12i)(13i)(1+3i)(13i)=12(1+i)= {{(1 - 2i)(1 - 3i)} \over {(1 + 3i)(1 - 3i)}} = - {1 \over 2}(1 + i)

\therefore

prinarg(12zω1+3zω)prin\arg \left( {{{1 - 2\overline z \omega } \over {1 + 3\overline z \omega }}} \right)
=prinarg(12zω1+3zω)= prin\arg \left( {{{1 - 2\overline z \omega } \over {1 + 3\overline z \omega }}} \right)
=(12(1+i))= \left( { - {1 \over 2}(1 + i)} \right)
=(ππ4)=3π4= - \left( {\pi - {\pi \over 4}} \right) = {{ - 3\pi } \over 4}

So, option (2) is correct.
