Solution

Given,

a,b be two real numbers such that ab<0, 1+aib+i=1, a+ib lies on the circle z-1=2z and ab<0

Now using 1+aib+i=1 we get,

⇒1+ai=b+i

Now squaring both side we get,

⇒1+ai2=b+i2

⇒1+ai1-ai=b+ib-i z2=zz¯

⇒1+a2=b2+1

⇒a=±b⇒b=-a as ab<0

Now given,

a,b lies on z-1=2z

So, a+ib-1=2a+ib

⇒a-1+ib2=4a+ib2

⇒a-12+b2=4a2+b2

⇒a-12+a2=42a2 as b=-a

⇒6a2+2a-1=0

⇒a=-2±2812=-1±76

Taking positive sign we get,

a=7-16 &  b=1-76  as b=-a

Now the value of a=0 as 0<7-16<1

∴   1+a4b=641-7=-1+74

Now taking negative sign we get, a=-1-76 &  b=7+16

Now  a=-1 as -1<-1-76<0

So, the value of 1+a4b=  1+-14b=04b=0

Note- Official answer key was drop by NTA, here we have modified the option.

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