Q.

Among the statements

(S1) : The set {zC{i} : |z|=1 and ziz+i is purely real} contains exactly two elements, and

(S2) : The set {zC{1} : |z|=1 and z1z+1 is purely imaginary} contains infinitely many elements.          [2025]

1 only (S2) is correct  
2 both are incorrect  
3 only (S1) is correct  
4 both are correct  

Ans.

(1)

(S1) : ziz+i=z+iz-i          [  Purely real]

 zziziz-1=zz+zi+iz1

 z+z=0

 2x=0           [  Purely real]

 x=0

Also, |z| = 1

  z=i           (  zi is given)

(S1) is incorrect.

(S2) : z1z+1+z1z+1=0          [  Purely imaginary]

 zzz+z1+zzz+z1=0  zz=1  |z|=1,

which represents a circle with radius 1 and centre (0, 0).

(S2) is correct.
