If the locus of $z \in C$, such that Re $\left(\frac{z-1}{2z + i}\right)$+Re $\left(\frac{\bar{z}-1}{2\bar{z}-i}\right)$ = 2, is a circle of radius r and

center (a, b), then $\frac{15ab}{r^2}$ is equal to :

The correct answer is
18

Simplifying the Locus Equation

The given equation is: Re $\left(\frac{z-1}{2z + i}\right)$ + Re $\left(\frac{\bar{z}-1}{2\bar{z}-i}\right)$ = 2

Let $w = \frac{z-1}{2z + i}$. We know that $\overline{w} = \frac{\overline{z-1}}{\overline{2z+i}} = \frac{\bar{z}-1}{2\bar{z}-i}$.

The equation simplifies using the property Re($w$) = Re($\overline{w}$): Re($w$) + Re($w$) = 2 $2 \times$ Re($w$) = 2 Re($w$) = 1

Therefore, the condition reduces to finding the locus where Re $\left(\frac{z-1}{2z + i}\right)$ = 1.

Finding the Circle Equation

Let $z = x + iy$. Substitute into the expression:

$z-1 = (x-1) + iy$

$2z+i = 2(x+iy) + i = 2x + i(2y+1)$

Calculate the fraction $\frac{z-1}{2z+i}$:

$\frac{(x-1) + iy}{2x + i(2y+1)} = \frac{((x-1) + iy)(2x - i(2y+1))}{(2x + i(2y+1))(2x - i(2y+1))}$

Numerator = $(x-1)(2x) + y(2y+1) + i(y(2x) - (x-1)(2y+1))$

Numerator = $(2x^2 - 2x + 2y^2 + y) + i(2xy - (2xy + x - 2y - 1))$

Numerator = $(2x^2 - 2x + 2y^2 + y) + i(-x + 2y + 1)$

Denominator = $(2x)^2 + (2y+1)^2 = 4x^2 + 4y^2 + 4y + 1$

The real part is Re $\left(\frac{z-1}{2z+i}\right) = \frac{2x^2 - 2x + 2y^2 + y}{4x^2 + 4y^2 + 4y + 1}$.

Set the real part equal to 1:

$\frac{2x^2 - 2x + 2y^2 + y}{4x^2 + 4y^2 + 4y + 1} = 1$

$2x^2 - 2x + 2y^2 + y = 4x^2 + 4y^2 + 4y + 1$

Rearrange terms:

$2x^2 + 2y^2 + 2x + 3y + 1 = 0$

Divide by 2 to get the standard form:

$x^2 + y^2 + x + \frac{3}{2}y + \frac{1}{2} = 0$

Identifying Circle Parameters (Center and Radius)

Compare $x^2 + y^2 + x + \frac{3}{2}y + \frac{1}{2} = 0$ with the general circle equation $x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$.

  • Center $(a, b) = (-g, -f)$.
  • From the equation, $2g = 1 \implies g = \frac{1}{2}$ and $2f = \frac{3}{2} \implies f = \frac{3}{4}$.
  • Thus, the center is $(a, b) = (-\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{3}{4})$.
  • The radius squared $r^2 = g^2 + f^2 - c$.
  • Here, $c = \frac{1}{2}$.
  • $r^2 = (\frac{1}{2})^2 + (\frac{3}{4})^2 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{9}{16} - \frac{8}{16} = \frac{4+9-8}{16} = \frac{5}{16}$.

Calculating the Final Expression

We need to find the value of $\frac{15ab}{r^2}$.

  • $a = -\frac{1}{2}$
  • $b = -\frac{3}{4}$
  • $r^2 = \frac{5}{16}$
  • $ab = (-\frac{1}{2}) \times (-\frac{3}{4}) = \frac{3}{8}$

Substitute these values into the expression:

$\frac{15ab}{r^2} = \frac{15 \times (\frac{3}{8})}{\frac{5}{16}} = \frac{\frac{45}{8}}{\frac{5}{16}}$

$\frac{45}{8} \times \frac{16}{5} = \frac{45}{5} \times \frac{16}{8} = 9 \times 2 = 18$.
