    Equation of the circle having the diameter as the line segment joining the complex numbers \[-1-i\]and \[1+i\]  is

    A)  \[|z+1+i{{|}^{2}}+|z-1-i{{|}^{2}}=8\]

    B)  \[|z{{|}^{2}}=|1+i{{|}^{2}}+|-1-i{{|}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[|z-1+i{{|}^{2}}-|z+1-i{{|}^{2}}=4\]

    D)  \[|z+1+i{{|}^{2}}=|z-1-i{{|}^{2}}\]

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Let \[{{z}_{1}}=-1-i\] and \[{{z}_{2}}=1+i\] Then, \[{{\bar{z}}_{1}}=-1+i\] and \[{{\bar{z}}_{2}}=1-i\] Equation of circle having \[{{z}_{1}}\]and \[{{z}_{2}}\] as end points of diameter is \[(z-{{z}_{1}})\,(\bar{z}-{{\bar{z}}_{2}})+(z-{{z}_{2}})(\bar{z}-{{\bar{z}}_{1}})=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[z\bar{z}-z{{\bar{z}}_{2}}-{{z}_{1}}\bar{z}+{{z}_{1}}{{\bar{z}}_{2}}+z\bar{z}-z{{\bar{z}}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}{{\bar{z}}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}{{\bar{z}}_{1}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2z\bar{z}-z({{\bar{z}}_{1}}+{{\bar{z}}_{2}})-\vec{z}({{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}})+{{z}_{1}}{{\bar{z}}_{2}}+{{z}_{2}}{{\bar{z}}_{1}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2|z{{|}^{2}}-z(-1+i+1-i)-\bar{z}(-1-i+1+i)\] \[+{{z}_{1}}{{\bar{z}}_{2}}+{{z}_{2}}{{\bar{z}}_{1}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2|z{{|}^{2}}-0-0+{{z}_{1}}{{\bar{z}}_{2}}+{{z}_{2}}{{\bar{z}}_{1}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2|z{{|}^{2}}+(-1-i)(1-i)+(1+i)(-1+i)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2|z{{|}^{2}}-(-1-i)(-1-i)-(1+i)(1+i)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2|z{{|}^{2}}-|-1-i{{|}^{2}}-|1+i{{|}^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2|z{{|}^{2}}=|-1-i{{|}^{2}}+|1+i{{|}^{2}}\] Which is the required equation of circle.
