Question
Let complex numbers α and
lie on circles (x - x0)2 + (y - y0)2 = r2 and (x - x0)2 + (y - y0)2 = 4r2 respectively. If z0 = x0 + iy0 satisfies the equation 2|z0|2 = r2 + 2, then |α| =
lie on circles (x - x0)2 + (y - y0)2 = r2 and (x - x0)2 + (y - y0)2 = 4r2 respectively. If z0 = x0 + iy0 satisfies the equation 2|z0|2 = r2 + 2, then |α| = Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
Given : α satisfies |z - z0| = r ⇒ |α - z0 | = r ..........(1)
satisfies |z - z0| = 2r
.........(2)squaring (1) and (2) we get

⇒
..........(3)&

⇒
⇒

⇒ 1+ 2 |z0|2 - 2 - |α|2 - |z0|2 + |z0|2 |α|2 = 8|z0|2 |α|2 - 8|α|2
⇒ -1 + |z0|2 - 7|z0|2 |α|2 + 7|α|2 = 0
⇒ (|z0|2 - 1) (7|α2|- 1) = 0
⇒ |z0| = 1 (rejected as r = 0)
