Let z be a complex number such that z-2iz+i=2, z-i. Then z lies on the circle of radius 2 and centre
  1. (2,0)
  2. (0,2)
  3. (0,0)
  4. (0,-2)

Solution

Given equation is

z-2iz+i=2, z-i

On simplifying the equation, we get

(z-2i)(z¯+2i)=4(z+i)(z¯-i)

zz¯+4+2i(z-z¯)=4(zz¯+1+i(z¯-z))

3zz¯-6i(z-z¯)=0

Now putting the value of z=x+iy & z¯=x-iy we get,

x2+y2-2i(2iy)=0

x2+y2+4y=0

On comparing the above equation with the general equation of the circle i.e

(x-h)2+(y-k)2=r2

We get, centre (0, -2)
