    If n is a positive integer grater than unity and z is a complex satisfying the equation \[{{z}^{n}}={{(z+1)}^{n}},\]then

    A) \[\operatorname{Re}(z)<2\]      

    B) \[\operatorname{Re}(z)>0\]

    C) \[\operatorname{Re}(z)=0\]        

    D) z lies on \[x=-\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{\operatorname{z}}^{n}}={{(z+1)}^{n}}\,\,\Rightarrow {{\left| z \right|}^{n}}\,=\,\,{{\left| z+1 \right|}^{n}}\] or \[\left| z \right|=\left| z+1 \right|\] So the distance of point z remain same from (0, 0) and(-1, 0). So, z lies on perpendicular bisector of line joining (0, 0) and (-1, 0) that is on \[\operatorname{x} = -\frac{1}{2}\]
