Q.

Let A,B,C be three sets of complex numbers as defined below                       [2008]

A={z:Im(z)1}

B={z:|z-2-i|=3}

C={z:Re((1-i)z)=2}

Q. The number of elements in the set ABC is

1 0  
2 1  
3 2  
4  

Ans.

(2)

Given : A={z:Im(z)1}={(x,y):y1}

Clearly A is the set of all points lying on or above the line y=1 in cartesian plane.

B={z:|z-2-i|=3}={(x,y):(x-2)2+(y-1)2=9}

B is the set of all points lying on the boundary of the circle with centre (2,1) and radius 3.

C={z:Re[(1-i)z]=2}={(x,y):x+y=2}

C is the set of all points lying on the straight line represented by x+y=2.

Graphically, the three sets are represented as shown below :

From graph ABC consists of only one point P [the common point of the region y1, (x-2)2+(y-1)2=9 and x+y=2

 n(ABC)=1
