A complex numberzis said to be unimodular ifz=1. Letz1andz2are complex numbers such thatz1-2z22-z1z2is unimodular andz2is not unimodular, then the pointz1lies on a

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Given, z1-2z22-z1z¯2  is unimodular. 

⇒ z1-2z22-z1z¯2=1

⇒ z1-2z2=2-z1z¯2

Squaring both the sides, we get,

z1-2z22=2-z1z22

⇒ z1-2z2z¯1-2z¯2=2-z1z¯22-z¯1z2

∵ z2=zz¯

  z1z¯12z1z¯22z¯1z2+4z¯2z¯2

=4-2z¯z2-2zz¯2+zz¯zz¯2

⇒ z12+4z22=4+z1z22

⇒ z12-4+4z22-z1z22=0

⇒ z12-41-z22=0

⇒ z1=2 or z2=1

 Given, z2 is not unimodular

∴  z1=2

  Point z1 lies on a circle of radius 2.
