Let S 1 ,   S 2 and S 3 be three sets defined as S 1 = { z ∈ ℂ : | z - 1 | ≤ 2 } , S…

Let S1, S2 and S3 be three sets defined as

S1={z:|z-1|2},

S2={z:Re((1-i)z)1} and

S3={z:Im(z)1}.

Then, the set S1S2S3

  1. is a singleton
  2. has exactly two elements
  3. has infinitely many elements
  4. has exactly three elements

Solution

We know that the complex number z satisfying z-z0=r represents a circle with centre z0 and radius r units.

Hence, for S1=|z-1|2, z lies on and inside the circle
of radius 2 units and centre (1, 0).

For S2, let z=x+iy

Now, (1-i)(z)=(1-i)(x+i y)

(1-i)(z)=x+iy-ix-i2y

(1-i)(z)=x+iy-ix+y

Re((1-i)z)=x+y

x+y1.

And, for S3, again let z=x+iy,

y1.

Plotting all the inequalities on the graph, we get

Now, the common part is shown in the shaded part, hence, we get infinite points in the shaded region.

S1S2S3 has infinitely many elements.
