Mathematics Question on complex numbers

If z = x + iy satisfies | z | – 2 = 0 and |z – i| – | z + 5i| = 0, then

A

x + 2y – 4 = 0

B

x2 + y – 4 = 0

C

x + 2y + 4 = 0

D

x2 – y + 3 = 0

Answer

x + 2y + 4 = 0

Explanation

Solution

The correct answer is (C) : x + 2y + 4 = 0
|z-i| = |z+5i|
Thereafter, z lies on ⊥r bisector of (0, 1) and (0, –5)
i.e., line y = –2
as |z| = 2
⇒ z = –2i
x = 0 and y = –2Hence, x + 2y + 4 = 0
