JEE Main 2025 — 4 April, Morning Shift — Question 42

Let A={z∈C:∣z−2−i∣=3}A=\{z \in C:|z-2-i|=3\}, B={z∈C:Re⁡(z−iz)=2}B=\{z \in C: \operatorname{Re}(z-i z)=2\} and S=A∩BS=A \cap B. Then

∑z∈S∣z∣2\sum_{z \in S}|z|^{2} is equal to \qquad -.

Answer: 22

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

Let z=x+iyz=x+i y ∣z−2−i∣=3⇒(x−2)2+(y−1)2=32|z-2-i|=3 \Rightarrow(x-2)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=3^{2}

Re⁡(z−iz)=Re⁡(x+iy−ix+y)=x+y⇒x+y=2\operatorname{Re}(z-i z)=\operatorname{Re}(x+i y-i x+y)=x+y \Rightarrow x+y=2

⇒A={(x,y):(x−2)2+(y−1)2=32,x,y∈R}\Rightarrow A=\left\{(x, y):(x-2)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=3^{2}, x, y \in R\right\},

B={(x,y):x+y=2}B=\{(x, y): x+y=2\}

⇒x−2=−y⇒y2+(y−1)2=32\Rightarrow x-2=-y \Rightarrow y^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=3^{2}

⇒2y2−2y−8=0⇒y2−y−4=0\Rightarrow 2 y^{2}-2 y-8=0 \Rightarrow y^{2}-y-4=0

y1+y2=1,y1y2=−4y_{1}+y_{2}=1, y_{1} y_{2}=-4

⇒y12+y22\Rightarrow y_{1}^{2}+y_{2}^{2}

=(y1+y2)2−2y1y2=9=\left(y_{1}+y_{2}\right)^{2}-2 y_{1} y_{2}=9

⇒x1+x2=4(y1+y2)=3\Rightarrow x_{1}+x_{2}=4\left(y_{1}+y_{2}\right)=3,

x1x2=(2−y1)(2−y2)=4−2(y1+y2)+y1y2=−2x_{1} x_{2}=\left(2-y_{1}\right)\left(2-y_{2}\right)=4-2\left(y_{1}+y_{2}\right)+y_{1} y_{2}=-2

⇒x12+x22=(x1+x2)2−2x1x2=13\Rightarrow x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}=\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)^{2}-2 x_{1} x_{2}=13

∵S={(x1,y1),(x2,y2)}\because S=\left\{\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right),\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)\right\}

⇒∑z∈S∣z∣2=(x12+y12)+(x22+y22)=22\Rightarrow \sum_{z \in S}|z|^{2}=\left(x_{1}^{2}+y_{1}^{2}\right)+\left(x_{2}^{2}+y_{2}^{2}\right)=22
