Let wIm w≠0 be a complex number. Then, the set of all complex numbers z satisfying the equation w-w¯z=k1-z, for some real number k, is
  1. z: z1
  2. z: z=1, z1
  3. z: z=z¯
  4. z: z=1

Solution

wCIm w0 ⇒w=a+ib:b≠0 (suppose)

w-w¯ z=k1-z

If z=x+iy

a+ib-a-ibx+iy=k{1-x+iy}

a+ib-ax+iay-ibx+by=k-kx-iky

Equating real and imaginary parts

a-ax-by=k-kx    (1)

and b-ay+bx=-ky     2

From 1 k-ax-1=by

 2 k-ay=b(x+1)
Dividing the two equations, we get, 

x-1y=yx+1

x2-1=y2

x2+y2=1

z=1

z1+i0 ( if z=1 then from original equation   w=w a+ib=a-ibb=0)
