Previous Year Question (PYQs)



Number of unimodular complex numbers which satisfy the locus $\arg\!\left(\dfrac{z - 1}{z + i}\right) = \dfrac{\pi}{2}$ is —





Solution

Let $z = x + iy$ and $|z| = 1$. The given condition means $(z - 1)$ is perpendicular to $(z + i)$. \[ (x - 1, y) \cdot (x, y + 1) = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 - x + y^2 + y = 0 \] Since $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ (unimodular), \[ 1 - x + y = 0 \Rightarrow y = x - 1. \] Substitute in $x^2 + y^2 = 1$: \[ x^2 + (x - 1)^2 = 1 \Rightarrow 2x^2 - 2x = 0 \Rightarrow x(x - 1) = 0. \] Hence $x = 0$ or $x = 1$. For $x = 0$, $z = -i$ (denominator $z+i=0$). For $x = 1$, $z = 1$ (numerator $z-1=0$). Both make $\arg$ undefined. Therefore, no unimodular complex number satisfies the condition.
