    If \[\frac{|z-2|}{|z-3|}=2\] represents a circle, then its radius is equal to

    A) \[1\]                                     

    B) \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]                                  

    D)  \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given,\[\frac{|z-2|}{|z-3|}=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|z-2|=2|z-3|\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sqrt{{{(x-2)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}=2\sqrt{{{(x-3)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{(x-2)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4[{{(x-3)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}]\]                                 (on squaring both sides) \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-4x+4=4{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}+36-24x\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[3{{x}^{2}}+3{{y}^{2}}-20x+32=0\] or            \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-\frac{20}{3}x+\frac{32}{3}=0\]                         ... (i) We know that, standard equation of a circle is                 \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2gx+2fy+c=0\]       ... (ii) On comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[2g=\frac{-20}{3}\Rightarrow g=\frac{-10}{3},\,\,f=0,\,\,c=\frac{32}{3}\] Hence, radius\[=\sqrt{{{g}^{2}}+{{f}^{2}}-c}\]                 \[=\sqrt{\frac{100}{9}-\frac{32}{3}}=\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{2}{3}\]
