If ta n dc are two complex numbers such ...

If `ta n dc` are two complex numbers such that `|t|!=|c|,|t|=1a n dz=(a t+b)//(t-c), z=x+i ydot` Locus of `z` is (where a, b are complex numbers) a. line segment b. straight line c. circle d. none of these

A

line segment

B

straight line

C

circle

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`z=(at+b)/(t-c)rArrt=(b+cz)/(z-a)`
Now, `|t|=1`
`rArr |(b+cz)/(z-a)|=1`
`rArr |(z+(b)/(c))/(z-a)|=(1)/(|c|)" " (ne 1" as "|c|ne|t|)`
`rArr` locus of z is a circle
