We have,
|z + i|−z + i = 0

Let z = x + iy, then

|x + iy + i|−x − iy + i = 0

⇒|x + i(1 + y)|−x + i(1 − y)= 0

2
⇒ √x + (y + 1)
2
− x − i(y − 1)= 0

Equating real and imaginary part, we get

y − 1 = 0

⇒ y = −1

And,
2
√x2 + (y + 1) − x = 0

2
⇒ √x
2
+ (y + 1) = x

2 2 2
⇒ x + (y + 1) = x

⇒ (y + 1) = 0

⇒ y = −1

Let z 1 = x + iy and z 2 = p − iq, where x, q > 0

Given, |z 1 |=|z2 |

2 2 2 2
⇒ x + y = p + q …(i)

z1 +z2 ( x+p ) +i ( y−q )

∴ =
z1 −z2 ( x−p ) +i ( y+q )

Rationalize the above term.

z1 +z2 [ ( x+p ) +i ( y−q ) ] [ ( x−p ) −i ( y+q ) ]
=
z1 −z2 [ ( x−p ) +i ( y+q ) ] [ ( x−p ) −i ( y+q ) ]

2 2 2 2
( x −p ) −i ( x+p ) ( y+q ) +i ( x−p ) ( y−q ) + ( y −q )

=
2 2
( x−p ) + ( y−q )
2 2 2 2
( x +y ) − ( p +q ) −2i ( xq+yp )

−2i ( xq+yp )
2 2 2 2
= …(ii) {(x + y )=(p + q )}
2 2
( x−p ) + ( y+q )

If xq + yp ≠ 0, then it is purely imaginary and if

y
xq + yp = 0 or x

p
= −
q
= λ [say]

⇒ x = pλ, y = −qλ

From Eq. (i), we get

2 2 2 2 2
p + q = λ (p + q )

⇒ λ = 1

⇒ λ = ±1

For λ = −1 and z 1 ≠ z2 , but

|z1 |=|z2 |

In this case, Eq. (ii) is zero.

x + iy = ix + y

⇒ x = y

and |z|= 5 ⇒ x 2

2
= 25

Plotting both

Hence, two values are satisfying.

15. (3) x + i(y + 1)+√2 |x + iy + 1|= 0
y + 1 = 0 ⇒ y = − 1 ∵ |x + i y + 1| is real
so x + √2 |x − i + 1|= 0

2
(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = − 2

16. (4)
Let z = x + iy
Then, arg(z − 4i)= 3π

3π
⇒ arg(x +(y − 4)i)=
4

Since, ( 3π

4
) lie in second quadrant,
Hence, x < 0 and y − 4 > 0 ⇒ y > 4
y−4
Also, ( x
)= tan(
3π

4
)= −1

⇒ x + y = 4 , x < 0, y > 4
And, arg(3z + 1 − 3i)= π

π
⇒ arg(3x + 3iy + 1 − 3i)=
4

π
⇒ arg(3x + 1 +(3y − 3)i)=
4

Since, ( π

4
) lie in first quadrant, hence
(3x + 1)> 0 and 3y − 3 > 0 ⇒ y > 1
3y−3
Also, 3x+1
= tan(
π

4
)= 1

⇒ 3y − 3 = 3x + 1

⇒ −3x + 3y = 4 , x > − and y > 1.

2 2
∣z + ∣= 2 ⇒|z|− ≤ 2
∣ z

|z|

2
⇒ |z| − 2|z|−2 ≤ 0

This is a quadratic equation in|z|

∣ ∣ 2±√4+8
∴ z ≤
∣ ∣ 2

z ≤ 1 ± √3

1 − √3 < z < 1 + √3

Hence, maximum value of|z| is 1 + √3

18. (2)
We know that, from the property of modulus function if
|z1 |≤ a, a > 0 ⇒ −a ≤ z1 ≤ a

So,
|z + 4|≤ 3 ⇒ −3 ≤ z + 4 ≤ 3

⇒ −6 ≤ z + 1 ≤ 0

⇒ 0 ≤ −(z + 1)≤ 6

⇒ 0 ≤|z + 1|≤ 6

Hence, the greatest and least values are 6 and 0 respectively.

19. (4)
Given that |z − i|≤ 2 and z 0
= 5 + 3i

Now, |iz + z 0 |=|i(z − i)+4 + 3i|

≤ 7.

Maximum value of |iz + z 0

|= 7 .

20. (3)

The minimum value of |Z|+|Z − 3| occurs at points on the line segment joining O and A
Similarly, the minimum value of |Z + i|+|Z − 3 − 2i| occurs at a point on the line segment joining B and C .
⇒ Minimum value of |Z|+|Z − 3|+|Z + i|+|Z − 3 − 2i| occurs at a point on the intersection of OA and BC .
Hence, the minimum value occurs at Z = 1 .

Let |z|= r and arg(z)= θ, given arg(z)−arg(ω)= π
