If arg`(z-a)/(z+a)=+-pi/2`, where a is a fixed real number, then the locus of z is

A

a staight line

B

a circle with center at the origin and radius a

C

a circle with center on y-axis

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We have,
arg`(z-a)/(z+a)=+-pi/2`
`rArr angleBPA = +-pi/2`
`rArr` P lies on the circle having AB as diameter. Thus, P lies on a circle of radius a with center at the origin.
