Among the statements
(S1) : The set $\left\{\mathrm{z} \in \mathbb{C}-\{-\mathrm{i}\}:|\mathrm{z}|=1\right.$ and $\frac{\mathrm{z}-\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{z}+\mathrm{i}}$ is purely real} contains exactly two elements, and (S2) : The set $\left\{\mathrm{z} \in \mathbb{C}-\{-1\}:|\mathrm{z}|=1\right.$ and $\frac{\mathrm{z}-1}{\mathrm{z}+1}$ is purely imaginary contains infinitely many elements.
  1. both are incorrect
  2. only (S1) is correct
  3. only (S2) is correct
  4. both are correct

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{S}_1:|\mathrm{z}|=1, \frac{\mathrm{z}-\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{z}+\mathrm{i}}=\frac{\overline{\mathrm{z}}+\mathrm{i}}{\overline{\mathrm{z}}-\mathrm{i}} \\ & \Rightarrow(\mathrm{z}-\mathrm{i})(\overline{\mathrm{z}}-\mathrm{i})=(\mathrm{z}+\mathrm{i})(\overline{\mathrm{z}}+\mathrm{i}) \\ & |\mathrm{z}|^2-\mathrm{i}(\mathrm{z}+\overline{\mathrm{z}})-1=|\mathrm{z}|^2+\mathrm{i}(\mathrm{z}+\overline{\mathrm{z}})-1 \\ & \mathrm{i}(\mathrm{z}+\overline{\mathrm{z}})=0 \\ & \mathrm{z}+\overline{\mathrm{z}}=2 \cos \theta=0 \Rightarrow \cos \theta=0 \\ & \mathrm{z}=0+0 \mathrm{i},|\mathrm{z}| \neq 1 \\ & \mathrm{~S}_1: \frac{\mathrm{z}-1}{\mathrm{z}+1}+\frac{\overline{\mathrm{z}}-1}{\overline{\mathrm{z}}+1}=0 \\ & (\mathrm{z}-1)(\overline{\mathrm{z}}+1)+(\mathrm{z}+1)(\overline{\mathrm{z}}-1)=0 \\ & \Rightarrow|\mathrm{z}|^2+(\mathrm{z}-\overline{\mathrm{z}})-1+|\mathrm{z}|^2+(\mathrm{z}-\overline{\mathrm{z}})-1=0 \\ & |\mathrm{z}|^2=1\end{aligned}$
