The value ofλfor which the lociargz=π6and|z-23i|=λon the argand plane touch each other is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

z=x+iy

argz=tan-1yx

argz=π6

 tan-1yx=π6

yx=tanπ6=13

 x=3y

Also given, 

|z-23i|=λ

|x+iy-23i|=λ

x2+y-232=λ2

This is the equation of circle whose centre x-3y=0 is (0,23) and r=λ. Now, the line touches the circle

 λ=0-3231+3

λ=62=3

 λ=3
