JEE Advanced Mathematics Question (2021) — Solution

Question

For any complex number w = c + i d , let  arg w ∈ ( - π , π ] , where i = - 1 . Let α and β be real numbers such that for all complex numbers z = x + i y satisfying arg z + α z + β = π 4 , the ordered pair ( x ,   y ) lies on the circle  x 2 + y 2 + 5 x - 3 y + 4 = 0 Then which of the following statements is(are) TRUE?

Options

  1. A. α = - 1
  2. B. α β = 4
  3. C. α β = - 4
  4. D. β = 4

Answer

D. β = 4

Step-by-step solution

arg z + α z + β = π 4  represents an arc of a circle and  - α , 0   &   - β , 0  subtends an angle  π 4  on  z Given,  x 2 + y 2 + 5 x - 3 y + 4 = 0 Centre - 5 2 , 3 2 ,   r = 25 4 + 9 4 - 4 = 3 2 Angle made by  ( - α , 0 )   &   ( - β , 0 )  at the centre  C  is  π 2 Using rotation of complex numbers, we get - α - - 5 2 + 3 2 i - β - - 5 2 + 3 2 i = 1 · e i π 2 = i - α + 5 2 - 3 2 i = - i β + 5 2 i + 3 2 α - i β = 1 - 4 i ∵ α ,   β ∈ R ⇒ α = 1 ,   β = 4
