    If \[\frac{-31}{17}\]and \[\omega =\frac{1-iz}{z-i}\] than \[|\omega |=1\] shows that in complex plane                            [RPET 1985, 97; IIT 1983; DCE 2000, 01; UPSEAT 2003; MP PET 2004]

    A) z will be at imaginary axis

    B) z will be at real axis

    C) z will be at unity circle

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[w=\frac{1-iz}{z-i}\],  then \[|w|\ =1\] Þ \[\left| \ \frac{1-iz}{z-i}\  \right|\ =1\]   Þ  \[|1-iz|\ =\ |z-i|\] Þ \[|1-i(x+iy)|\ =\ |x+iy-i|\] Þ \[|(1+y)-ix|\ =\ |x+i(y-1)|\] Þ \[\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1+{{y}^{2}}+2y}=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+1-2y}\]Þ \[y=0\] Hence\[z=x+iy=x\]. So z lies on real axis.
