JEE Main 2025 — 7 April, Evening Shift — Question 30

If the locus of z∈Cz \in C, such that Re⁡(z−12z+i)+Re⁡(zˉ−12zˉ−i)=2\operatorname{Re}\left(\frac{z-1}{2 z+i}\right)+\operatorname{Re}\left(\frac{\bar{z}-1}{2 \bar{z}-i}\right)=2, is a circle of radius rr and center (a,b)(a, b),

then 15abr2\frac{15 a b}{r^{2}} is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    12

  2. Option B:

    24

  3. Option C:

    18

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    16

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

Re⁡(z)+Re⁡(zˉ)=2\operatorname{Re}(z)+\operatorname{Re}(\bar{z})=2

⇒Re⁡(z)=1\Rightarrow \operatorname{Re}(z)=1

⇒Re⁡(x+iy−12x+i(2y+1))=1\Rightarrow \operatorname{Re}\left(\frac{x+i y-1}{2 x+i(2 y+1)}\right)=1

⇒Re⁡((x−1)+iy2x+i(2y+1))=1\Rightarrow \operatorname{Re}\left(\frac{(x-1)+i y}{2 x+i(2 y+1)}\right)=1

⇒Re⁡((x−1)+iy)(2x−i(2y+1))(2x+i(2y+1))(2x−i(2y+1))=1\Rightarrow \operatorname{Re} \frac{((x-1)+i y)(2 x-i(2 y+1))}{(2 x+i(2 y+1))(2 x-i(2 y+1))}=1

⇒2x2−2x+2y2+y4x2+(2y+1)2=1\Rightarrow \frac{2 x^{2}-2 x+2 y^{2}+y}{4 x^{2}+(2 y+1)^{2}}=1

⇒x2+y2+x+32y+12=0\Rightarrow \quad x^{2}+y^{2}+x+\frac{3}{2} y+\frac{1}{2}=0

Centre (a,b)=(−12,−34)(a, b)=\left(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{-3}{4}\right)

Radius =54=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{4}

15abr2=15⋅38×165=18\frac{15 a b}{r^{2}}=15 \cdot \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{16}{5}=18
