Question:

Let z be complex number such that
\(\left|\frac{z-i}{z+2i}\right|=1\)
and \(|z|=\frac{5}{2}\).
Then the value of \(|z+3i|\) is :

Show Hint

The first condition means z is equidistant from i and -2i, so Im(z) is fixed; then use |z| to get Re(z).

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Let \(z=x+iy\). \(|z-i|=|z+2i|\Rightarrow x^2+(y-1)^2=x^2+(y+2)^2\Rightarrow -2y+1=4y+4\Rightarrow y=-\frac12\).
\(|z|^2=x^2+\frac14=\frac{25}{4}\Rightarrow x^2=6\).
\(|z+3i|^2=x^2+(y+3)^2=6+\left(\frac52\right)^2=6+\frac{25}{4}=\frac{49}{4}\).
So \(|z+3i|=\frac72\).
Answer: (4) \(\frac{7}{2}\)
