Q.

Let S be the set of all complex numbers z satisfying |z-2+i|5. If the complex number z0 is such that 1|z0-1| is the maximum of the set {1|z-1|:zS}, then the principal argument of 4-z0-z0¯z0-z0¯+2i is                     [2019]

1 π4      
2 3π4      
3 π2      
4 -π2  

Ans.

(4)

S: |z-2+i|5 represents boundary and outer region of circle with centre (2,-1) and radius 5 units.

z0S, such that 1|z0-1| is the maximum.

 |z0-1| is minimum.

z0S with |z0-1| as minimum will be a point on boundary of circle of region S  which lies on radius of this circle, which passes through (1,0).

 z0, 1, 2-i are collinear, or (x0,y0), (1,0), (2,-1) are collinear.

 Using slopes of parallel lines,x'

y0x0-1=-12-1  y0=1-x0

Now,   4-z0-z0¯z0-z0¯+2i=4-(z0+z0¯)(z0-z0¯)+2i

=4-2x02iy0+2i=4-2x02i(1-x0)+2i

=2(2-x0)2(2-x0)i=1i=-i

 Arg(4-z0-z0¯z0-z0¯-2i)=Arg(-i)=-π2
