    The value of  \[|z-5|\]if \[z=x+iy\],  is [RPET 1995]

    A) \[\sqrt{{{(x-5)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\]

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}+\sqrt{{{(y-5)}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{{{(x-y)}^{2}}+{{5}^{2}}}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{(y-5)}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[z=x+iy\], then \[|z-5|\,=\,|x+iy-5|\,=\,|x-5+iy|\]    \[=\sqrt{{{(x-5)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\].
