z₁, z₂ are two complex numbers with |z₁-z₂ | < k . If the complex number z satisfies the condition |z-z₁ |+ |z-z₂ |=k , then z lies on
Options
- Aa parabola
- Ban ellipse
- Ca circle
- Da hyperbola
Correct answer
B. an ellipse
Step-by-step solution
According to the given information, |z-z₁ |+ |z-z₂ |=K> |z₁-z₂ | Sum of the distances of the point z from z₁ and z₂ is constant (K) and more than the distance between points z₁ and z₂ . So, locus of point ' z ' is an ellipse. Hence, option (b) is correct.
