The region of the complex plane for which `|(z-a)/(z+veca)|=1,(Re(a) != 0)` is

A

x-axis

B

y-axis

C

the straight line `x=a`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have, `|(z-a)/(z+bara)|=1`
`rArr |(z-a)/(z+bara)|=1`
`rArr |z-a|=|z-(-bara)|`
`rArr` z lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining A (a) and `B(-bara)`.
`rArr z=(a+(-bara))/(2)`
`rArr` z is purely imaginary
`"Re"(z)=0`
`rArr` z lies on y-axis.
Hence, the locus of z is y-axis.
