If the argument of `(z-a)(barz-b)` is equal to that `(((sqrt(3)+i)(1+sqrt(3)i))/(1+i))` where `a,` `b,` `c` are two real number and `barz` is the complex conjugate o the complex number `z,` find the locus of z in the Argand diagram. Find the value of a and b so that locus becomes a circle having its centre at `1/2(3+i)`

A

`(3,2)`

B

`(2,1)`

C

`(2,3)`

D

`(2,4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(b)` `(z-a)(barz-b)=zbarz-abarz-bz+ab(:'z=x+iy)`
Argument of `(z-a)(barz-b)=((y(a-b))/(x^(2)+y^(2)-ax+bx+ab))`
Also, `((sqrt(3)+i)(1+sqrt(3)i)/(1+i)=(sqrt(3)-sqrt(3)+i(1+3))/(1+i)=2+2i`
Argument of `2+2i=tan^(-1)(2//2)=pi//4`
`impliesx^(2)+y^(2)-(a+b)x-(a-b)y+ab=0`
Thus, the locus of `z` is a circle
Given centre is `(3+i)/(2)`
`implies (a+b)/(2)=(3)/(2)` and `(a-b)/(2)=(1)/(2)`
`impliesa=2`, `b=1`
