QJEEM21Ma4a02: JEE Main 2021 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM21Ma4a02 Solution: If the equation a

If the equation a|z|2+α―z+αz――+d=0 represents a circle where a, d are real constants then which of the following condition is correct?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A |α|2 − ad ≠ 0
  • B |α|2 − ad > 0 and a∈R − {0}
  • C |α|2 − ad ≥ 0 and a∈R
  • D α = 0, a, d∈R+

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

a|z|2+αz―+α―z+d=0

⇒ zz―+(αa)z―+(α―a)z+da=0

∴ Centre =−αa

r=|αa|2−da

⇒|αa|2≥da

⇒|α|2≥ad
