Q1

Let Z = x+ iy
2 2
Then (x − 1) + y = 1 → [OP T I ON 1]

& (√2 − 1)(2x) − i(2iy) = 2√2

⇒ (√2 − 1)x + y = √2 → (2)

Solving (1) & (2)

we get

Either x = 1 or x = (3)

On solving (3) with (2)

we get

For x = 1 ⇒ y = 1 ⇒ Z 2 = 1 + i & for

ABC is a triangle. Hence its circum-centre will be the only point whose distance from A, B, C will be same.
So n(S) = 1

Let α = ω

Now (1 + α) 7

|z − z0 | = 4

⇒ (α − z0 ) (ᾱ − z̄ 0 ) = 4

2
⇒ αᾱ − αz̄ 0 − z0 ᾱ + |z0 | = 4

2
⇒ |α| − αz̄ 0 − z0 ᾱ = 2 … … … (1)

2
|z − z0 | = 16

1 1
⇒ ( − z0 ) ( − z̄ 0 ) = 16
ᾱ α

2
⇒ (1 − ᾱz0 ) (1 − αz̄ 0 ) = 16|α|

2 2 2
⇒ 1 − ᾱz0 − αz̄ 0 + |α| |z0 | = 16|α|

2
⇒ 1 − ᾱz0 − αz̄ 0 = 14|α| … … … . . . (2)

From (1) and (2)

2
⇒ 5|α| = 1
