Q.

Let S=S1∩S2∩S3, where

S1={z∈ℂ:|z|<4},  S2={z∈ℂ:Im[z-1+3 i1-3 i]>0}, and S3={z∈ℂ:Re(z)>0}.             [2013]

Q.  minz∈S|1-3i-z|=

1 2-32  
2 2+32  
3 3-32  
4 3+32  

Ans.

(3)

S1:x2+y2<16

S2:Im[(x-1)+i(y+3)1-i3]>0

⇒3(x-1)+(y+3)>0 ⇒y+3x>0

S3:x>0

Then S:S1∩S2∩S3 is as shown in the figure given below.

minz∈S|1-3i-z|= minimum distance between z and (1,-3)

Clearly (from figure) minimum distance between z∈S and (1,-3)

from line y+x3=0 i.e. |3-33+1|=3-32
