Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Let z=x+iyz=x+i y

amp;∣z−1∣=1⇒∣x+iy−1∣=1amp;(x−1)2+y2=1.......(1)\begin{aligned}& |z-1|=1 \Rightarrow|x+i y-1|=1 \\\\& (x-1)^2+y^2=1 .......(1)\end{aligned}

amp;(2−1)(z+zˉ)−i(z−zˉ)=22 (Given) amp;(2−1)(2x)−i(2iy)=22amp;(2−1)x+y=2.........(2)\begin{aligned} & (\sqrt{2}-1)(z+\bar{z})-i(z-\bar{z})=2 \sqrt{2} \text { (Given) } \\\\ & (\sqrt{2}-1)(2 x)-i(2 i y)=2 \sqrt{2} \\\\ & (\sqrt{2}-1) x+y=\sqrt{2} .........(2)\end{aligned}

Solving (1) and (2), we get

amp;(x−1)2+(2−(2−1)x)2=1amp;(x2−2x+1)+2+(2−1)2x2−22(2−1)x=0amp;x2(1+(2−1)2)+x(−2−22(2−1))+2=0amp;x2(4−22)+x(22−6)+2=0amp;x2(2−2)+x(2−3)+1=0\begin{aligned}& (x-1)^2+(\sqrt{2}-(\sqrt{2}-1) x)^2=1 \\\\& \left(x^2-2 x+1\right)+2+(\sqrt{2}-1)^2 x^2-2 \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}-1) x=0 \\\\& x^2\left(1+(\sqrt{2}-1)^2\right)+x(-2-2 \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}-1))+2=0 \\\\& x^2(4-2 \sqrt{2})+x(2 \sqrt{2}-6)+2=0 \\\\& x^2(2-\sqrt{2})+x(\sqrt{2}-3)+1=0\end{aligned}

amp;⇒x=1 and x=12−2..........(3)amp; When x=1,y=1⇒z2=1+iamp; When x=12−2,y=2−12amp;⇒z1=(1+12)+i2\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow x=1 \text { and } x=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{2}} ..........(3) \\\\ & \text { When } x=1, y=1 \Rightarrow z_2=1+i \\\\ & \text { When } x=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{2}}, y=\sqrt{2}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\\\ & \Rightarrow z_1=\left(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+\frac{i}{\sqrt{2}}\end{aligned}

Now,

amp;∣2z1−z2∣2amp;=∣(12+1)2+i−(1+i)∣2amp;=(2)2amp;=2\begin{aligned}& \left|\sqrt{2} z_1-z_2\right|^2 \\\\& =\left|\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+1\right) \sqrt{2}+i-(1+i)\right|^2 \\\\& =(\sqrt{2})^2 \\\\& =2\end{aligned}
