The locus of $z$ satisfying $\left|\frac{z-i}{z-2i}\right|=2$ is a

The locus of $z$ satisfying $\left|\frac{z-i}{z-2i}\right|=2$ is a
  1. Hyperbola
  2. Circle
  3. Straight line
  4. Ellipse

Solution

It is given that, $\left|\frac{z-i}{z-2 i}\right|=2$ Let $z=x+i y$, then $\begin{aligned} & |x+i(y-1)|=2|x+(y-2) i| \\ \Rightarrow \quad & x^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=4\left[x^{2}+(y-2)^{2}\right] \\ \Rightarrow & 3 x^{2}+3 y^{2}-14 y+16=0 \text { represent a circle, so } \end{aligned}$ locus of $z$ is a circle. Hence, option (b) is correct.
