Correct

Step-by-Step Solution

To match the statements in Column-I with the appropriate regions or properties in Column-II, we analyze each case individually:


Statement A:

The set of points zz satisfying ∣z−i∣z∣∣=∣z+i∣z∣∣|z - i|z|| = |z + i|z||.

Let z=x+iyz = x + iy, where x,y∈Rx, y \in \mathbb{R} and ∣z∣=r=x2+y2|z| = r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}.
Substituting zz into the equation gives:
∣x+i(y−r)∣=∣x+i(y+r)∣|x + i(y - r)| = |x + i(y + r)|

Squaring both sides:
x2+(y−r)2=x2+(y+r)2x^2 + (y - r)^2 = x^2 + (y + r)^2
(y−r)2=(y+r)2(y - r)^2 = (y + r)^2
y2−2yr+r2=y2+2yr+r2y^2 - 2yr + r^2 = y^2 + 2yr + r^2
4yr=04yr = 0

This implies y=0y = 0 or r=0r = 0. In either case, we have:
y=Im z=0y = \text{Im } z = 0

Thus, the set of points is the real axis (Im z=0\text{Im } z = 0).

Checking Column-II options:

  • q) Since Im z=0\text{Im } z = 0, it is equal to the set in q.
  • r) Since Im z=0\text{Im } z = 0, the inequality ∣Im z∣=0≤1|\text{Im } z| = 0 \le 1 holds for all points in the set, so it is contained in r.

Therefore, A matches with q, r.


Statement B:

The set of points zz satisfying ∣z+4∣+∣z−4∣=10|z + 4| + |z - 4| = 10.

This equation represents the locus of a point zz such that the sum of its distances from two fixed points (foci) S1(−4,0)S_1(-4, 0) and S2(4,0)S_2(4, 0) is a constant equal to 1010.

Since the distance between the foci is 2ae=82ae = 8 and 2a=102a = 10, we have:
a=5,ae=4  ⟹  e=45a = 5, \quad ae = 4 \implies e = \frac{4}{5}

The semi-minor axis bb is given by:
b2=a2(1−e2)=25(1−1625)=9  ⟹  b=3b^2 = a^2(1 - e^2) = 25\left(1 - \frac{16}{25}\right) = 9 \implies b = 3

The locus is an ellipse with standard equation x225+y29=1\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1 and eccentricity e=45e = \frac{4}{5}.

Checking Column-II options:

  • p) The locus is an ellipse with eccentricity 45\frac{4}{5}.

Therefore, B matches with p.


Statement C:

If ∣w∣=2|w| = 2, then z=w−1wz = w - \frac{1}{w}.

Let w=2eiθ=2(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)w = 2e^{i\theta} = 2(\cos\theta + i\sin\theta).
Then:
1w=12e−iθ=12(cos⁡θ−isin⁡θ)\frac{1}{w} = \frac{1}{2}e^{-i\theta} = \frac{1}{2}(\cos\theta - i\sin\theta)

Substituting into zz:
z=(2−12)cos⁡θ+i(2+12)sin⁡θ=32cos⁡θ+i52sin⁡θz = \left(2 - \frac{1}{2}\right)\cos\theta + i\left(2 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\sin\theta = \frac{3}{2}\cos\theta + i \frac{5}{2}\sin\theta

Let z=x+iyz = x + iy:
x=32cos⁡θ,y=52sin⁡θx = \frac{3}{2}\cos\theta, \quad y = \frac{5}{2}\sin\theta

Eliminating θ\theta using cos⁡2θ+sin⁡2θ=1\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta = 1:
x2(3/2)2+y2(5/2)2=1\frac{x^2}{(3/2)^2} + \frac{y^2}{(5/2)^2} = 1

This is the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin with semi-axes a=52a = \frac{5}{2} (along the imaginary axis) and b=32b = \frac{3}{2} (along the real axis).
The eccentricity ee is:
b2=a2(1−e2)  ⟹  (32)2=(52)2(1−e2)  ⟹  925=1−e2  ⟹  e=45b^2 = a^2(1 - e^2) \implies \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 (1 - e^2) \implies \frac{9}{25} = 1 - e^2 \implies e = \frac{4}{5}

Now checking bounds on zz:

  • p) It is an ellipse with eccentricity 45\frac{4}{5}.
  • s) ∣Re z∣=∣32cos⁡θ∣≤32≤2|\text{Re } z| = \left|\frac{3}{2}\cos\theta\right| \le \frac{3}{2} \le 2.
  • t) ∣z∣=x2+y2≤(32)2cos⁡2θ+(52)2sin⁡2θ≤52≤3|z| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \le \sqrt{\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 \cos^2\theta + \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 \sin^2\theta} \le \frac{5}{2} \le 3.

Therefore, C matches with p, s, t.


Statement D:

If ∣w∣=1|w| = 1, then z=w+1wz = w + \frac{1}{w}.

Let w=eiθ=cos⁡θ+isin⁡θw = e^{i\theta} = \cos\theta + i\sin\theta.
Then:
z=eiθ+e−iθ=2cos⁡θz = e^{i\theta} + e^{-i\theta} = 2\cos\theta

Since cos⁡θ∈[−1,1]\cos\theta \in [-1, 1], the set of points zz is the line segment [−2,2][-2, 2] on the real axis (Im z=0\text{Im } z = 0).

Checking Column-II options:

  • q) Since z∈Rz \in \mathbb{R}, Im z=0\text{Im } z = 0.
  • r) ∣Im z∣=0≤1|\text{Im } z| = 0 \le 1.
  • s) ∣Re z∣=∣2cos⁡θ∣≤2|\text{Re } z| = |2\cos\theta| \le 2.
  • t) ∣z∣=∣2cos⁡θ∣≤2≤3|z| = |2\cos\theta| \le 2 \le 3.

Therefore, D matches with q, r, s, t.


Final Match:

  • A →\rightarrow q, r
  • B →\rightarrow p
  • C →\rightarrow p, s, t
  • D →\rightarrow q, r, s, t
