JEE Main 2014 · 9 Apr · Shift 1, Mathematics question 62

Let ww (Im⁡w≠0\operatorname{Im}w\ne0) be a complex number. Then the set of all complex numbers zz satisfying the equation w−wˉz=k(1−z)w-\bar wz=k(1-z), for some real number kk, is :

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

Solve for zz: z(k−wˉ)=k−wz(k-\bar w)=k-w, so z=k−wk−wˉz=\dfrac{k-w}{k-\bar w}.

The numerator and denominator are conjugates (as kk is real), so ∣z∣=1|z|=1. Since w≠wˉw\ne\bar w, z≠1z\ne1. Every such zz arises for some real kk.

So the set is {z:∣z∣=1, z≠1}\{z:|z|=1,\ z\ne1\}.
