    If \[\operatorname{Re}\left( \frac{z-1}{z+1} \right)=0,\] where \[2=x+iy\] is a complex number, then which one of the following is correct?

    A) \[z=1+i\]        

    B) \[\left| z \right|=2\]

    C) \[z=1-i\]

    D) \[\left| z \right|=1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{z-1}{z+1}=\frac{x+iy-1}{x+iy+1}\] \[\frac{z-1}{z+1}=\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-1+2iy}{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2x+1}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\operatorname{Re}\left( \frac{z-1}{z+1} \right)=\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-1}{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2x+1}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\] Also, \[z\bar{z}={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\] \[z\bar{z}={{\left| z \right|}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{{\left| z \right|}^{2}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\left| z \right|=1\]
