    Directions (Q. Nos. 86) The geometrical meaning of \[|{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}|,\] where \[{{z}_{1}}\] and \[{{z}_{2}}\] are points in Argand plane is the distance between the points \[{{z}_{1}}\] and \[{{z}_{2}}\] based on this information, a class of problems about least value can be solved. The property that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side is also very useful in solving these problems.
    The least value of \[|\,z+i\,|+|\,z+3i\,|\,+|\,2-z|+|\,-z-7i|,\,\,z\] being a complex number, is

    A)  \[1+\sqrt{7}\]                  

    B)  \[\sqrt{13}\]

    C)  \[2+\sqrt{13}\]                

    D)  \[\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{13}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[|z+i|\,+|z+3i|+|\,-z+2|+|-z-7i|\] \[\ge \,|z+i\,+z+3i-z+2-z-7i|\] \[=\,|2-3i|\,=\,\sqrt{13}\] \[(\because \,\,|{{z}_{1}}|\,+\,|{{z}_{2}}|\,+|{{z}_{3}}|\,+|{{z}_{4}}|\,\,\ge \,\,{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}+{{z}_{3}}+{{z}_{4}}|)\]
