Q.

If the locus of zC, such that Re(z12z+i)+Re(z12z-i)=2, is a circle of radius r and center (a, b), then 15abr2 is equal to:          [2025]

1 12  
2 16  
3 24  
4 18  

Ans.

(4)

We have, Re(z12z+i)+Re(z12z-i)=2

 Re(z12z+i)+Re(z1¯2z+i)=2          [  (z1¯2z+i)=z¯12z¯i]

 2Re(z12z+i)=2  Re(z12z+i)=1

Let z = x + iy

Re((x1)+iy2x+i(2y+1))=1

 Re[((x1)+iy)(2xi(2y+1))(2x+i(2y+1))(2xi(2y+1))]=1

 2x(x1)+y(2y+1)4x2+(2y+1)2=1

 2x22x+2y2+y=4x2+4y2+1+4y

 2x2+2y2+3y+2x+1=0

 x2+y2+x+32y+12=0

   Centre=(12,34) and r=14+91612=54

 a=12, b=34, r2=516

  15abr2=15×(12)×(34)×165=18.
