    If \[\frac{z-\alpha }{z+\alpha }(\alpha \in R)\]is a purely imaginary number and \[|z|=2,\] then a value of \[\alpha \] is [JEE Main Online Paper Held On 12-Jan-2019 Morning]

    A) 1                                 

    B) \[\sqrt{2}\]  

    C) \[\frac{1}{2}\]                          

    D)   2

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[z=x+iy\] \[\therefore \]\[|z|=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}=2\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=4\] Now,\[\frac{z-\alpha }{z+\alpha }=\frac{x+iy-\alpha }{x+iy+\alpha }=\frac{(x-\alpha )+iy}{(x+\alpha )+iy}\times \frac{(x+\alpha )-iy}{(x+\alpha )-iy}\] \[=\frac{({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-{{\alpha }^{2}})}{{{(x+\alpha )}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\times \frac{i2\alpha y}{{{(x+\alpha )}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-{{\alpha }^{2}}}{{{(x+\alpha )}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}=0\] \[\left[ \because \frac{z-\alpha }{z+\alpha }is\text{ }purely\text{ }imaginary \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-{{\alpha }^{2}}=0\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[{{\alpha }^{2}}=4\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\alpha =\pm 2\]
