Let the curve $z(1+i)+\bar{z}(1-i)=4, z \in \mathrm{C}$, divide the region $|z-3| \leq 1$ into two parts of areas $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Then $|\alpha-\beta|$ equals :
  1. $1+\frac{\pi}{2}$
  2. $1+\frac{\pi}{3}$
  3. $1+\frac{\pi}{6}$
  4. $1+\frac{\pi}{4}$

Solution


$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Let } z=x+i y \\ & (x+i y)(1+i)+(x-i y)(1-i)=4 \\ & x+i x+i y-y+x-i x-i y-y=4 \\ & 2 x-2 y=4 \\ & x-y=2 \\ & |z-3| \leq 1 \\ & (x-3)^2+y^2 \leq 1
\end{aligned}$
Area of shaded region $=\frac{\pi \cdot 1^2}{4}-\frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 \cdot 1=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{2}$
Area of unshaded region inside the circle
$=\frac{3}{4} \pi \cdot 1^2+\frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 \cdot 1=\frac{3 \pi}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore$ difference of area $=\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}+1$
