    If  z is a complex number such that \[\frac{z-1}{z+1}\] is purely imaginary, then [MP PET 1998, 2002]

    A) \[|z|\,=0\]

    B) \[|z|\,=1\]

    C) \[|z|\,>1\]

    D) \[|z|\,<1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[\frac{z-1}{z+1}=iy\]where \[y\in R\] This gives  \[z=\frac{1+iy}{1-iy}=\frac{1+iy}{1-iy}\times \frac{1+iy}{1+iy}=\frac{(1-{{y}^{2}})+2iy}{1+{{y}^{2}}}\] \[\therefore \] \[|z|=\frac{1}{1+{{y}^{2}}}\sqrt{{{(1-{{y}^{2}})}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}}=\frac{1+{{y}^{2}}}{1+{{y}^{2}}}=1\].
