Options:

A) z will be at imaginary axis

B) z will be at real axis

C) z will be at unity circle

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ w=\frac{1-iz}{z-i} $ , then $ |w|\ =1 $
Þ $ | \ \frac{1-iz}{z-i}\ |\ =1 $
Þ $ |1-iz|\ =\ |z-i| $
Þ $ |1-i(x+iy)|\ =\ |x+iy-i| $
Þ $ |(1+y)-ix|\ =\ |x+i(y-1)| $
Þ $ \sqrt{x^{2}+1+y^{2}+2y}=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+1-2y} $ Þ $ y=0 $ Hence $ z=x+iy=x $ . So z lies on real axis.
