JEE Main 2024 — 8 April, Shift 1 — Question 15

Let zz be a complex number such that ∣z+2∣=1|z+2|=1 and lm⁡(z+1z+2)=15\operatorname{lm}\left(\frac{z+1}{z+2}\right)=\frac{1}{5}. Then the value of ∣Re⁡(z+2‾)∣|\operatorname{Re}(\overline{z+2})| is :

  1. Option A:

    65\frac{\sqrt{6}}{5}

  2. Option B:

    1+65\frac{1+\sqrt{6}}{5}

  3. Option C:

    245\frac{24}{5}

  4. Option D:

    265\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{5}

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

∣z+2∣=1,Im⁡(z+1z+2)=15|z+2|=1, \operatorname{Im}\left(\frac{z+1}{z+2}\right)=\frac{1}{5}

Let z+2=cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ\mathrm{z}+2=\cos \theta+i \sin \theta

1z+2=cos⁡θ−isin⁡θ\frac{1}{z+2}=\cos \theta-\mathrm{i} \sin \theta

⇒z+1z+2=1−1z+2=1−(cos⁡θ−isin⁡θ)\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{z}+1}{\mathrm{z}+2}=1-\frac{1}{\mathrm{z}+2}=1-(\cos \theta-\mathrm{i} \sin \theta)

=(1−cos⁡θ)+isin⁡θ=(1-\cos \theta)+\mathrm{i} \sin \theta

Im⁡(z+1z+2)=sin⁡θ,sin⁡θ=15\operatorname{Im}\left(\frac{z+1}{z+2}\right)=\sin \theta, \sin \theta=\frac{1}{5}

cos⁡θ=±1−125=±265\cos \theta= \pm \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{25}}= \pm \frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{5}

∣Re⁡(z+2‾)∣=265|\operatorname{Re}(\overline{z+2})|=\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{5}
