    The equation of the locus of \[z\] such that \[\left| \frac{z-i}{z+i} \right|=2,\]where \[z=x+iy\]is a complex  number, is

    A)  \[3{{x}^{2}}+\text{ }3{{y}^{2}}+10y\text{ }-3=0\]

    B) \[~3{{x}^{2}}+3{{y}^{2}}+10y+3=0\]

    C)  \[3{{x}^{2}}-3{{y}^{2}}-10y-3=0\]

    D)  \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-5y+3=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since, \[\left| \frac{z-i}{z+i} \right|=2\] and        \[z=x+iy\] \[\therefore \]  \[\left| \frac{x+iy-1}{x+iy+i} \right|=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\left| \frac{x+(y-1)i}{x+(y+1)i} \right|=2\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[|x+i(y-1)|=2|x+(y+1)i|\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{x}^{2}}+{{(y-1)}^{2}}=4({{x}^{2}}+{{(y+1)}^{2}})\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2y+1=4{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}+8y+4\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[3{{x}^{2}}+3{{y}^{2}}+10y+3=0\]
