Q47 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2019 (03 May Shift 2) · Mathematics

If the point k-1k,k-2k lies on the locus of z satisfying the inequality z+3i3z+i<1, then the interval in which k lies is

  • A
    (-∞,2)∪(3,∞)
  • B
    [2,3]
  • C
    [1,5]
  • Correct answer
    D
    (-∞,1)∪(5,∞)

Solution

z+3i3z+i⇒x+iy+3i3x+3iy+i<1

x2+(3+y)29x2+(3y+1)2<1

⇒x2+9+y2+6y<9x2+9y2+6y+1

⇒-8x2-8y2+8<0

⇒x2+y2-1>0

Now k-1k,k-2k lie above the curve

So k-1k2+k-2k2-1>0

⇒k2-2k+1+k2-4k+4-k2>0

⇒k2-6k+5>0

k∈(-∞,1) ∪(5,∞)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
