Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Let $\mathrm{z_1=2+3i}$ and $\mathrm{z_2=3+4i}$. The set $$\mathrm{S = \left\{ {z \in \mathbb{C}:{{\left| {z - {z_1}} \right|}^2} - {{\left| {z - {z_2}} \right|}^2} = {{\left| {{z_1} - {z_2}} \right|}^2}} \right\}}$$ represents a

  1. A hyperbola with the length of the transverse axis 7
  2. B hyperbola with eccentricity 2
  3. C straight line with the sum of its intercepts on the coordinate axes equals $-18$
  4. D straight line with the sum of its intercepts on the coordinate axes equals $14$ Correct answer

Solution

$\left|z-z_{1}\right|^{2}-\left|z-z_{2}\right|^{2}=\left|z_{1}-z_{2}\right|^{2}$ <br/><br/> $\Rightarrow(x-2)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}-(x-3)^{2}-(y-4)^{2}=1+1$ <br/><br/> $\Rightarrow-4 x+4+9-6 y-9+6 x-16+8 y=2$ <br/><br/> $\Rightarrow 2 x+2 y=14$ <br/><br/> $\Rightarrow x+y=7$
