The complex number `z_1,z_2 and z_3` satisfying `(z_1 - z_3)/(z_2 - z_3) = ( 1 - i sqrt3)/2` are the vertices of a triangle which is :

A

of area zero

B

right angled isosceles

C

equilateral

D

obtuse-angled isosceles

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We have,
`(z_(1)-z_(3))/(z_(2)-z_(3))=(1-isqrt(3))/(2)`
`rArr z_(1)-z_(3) = (z_(2)-z_(3))e^(ipi//3)`
`rArr` CA=CB and `angleACB=pi/3`
`rArr triangleABC` is equilateral.
