    If z is a complex number such that \[\left| z \right|\le 2,\] then the minimum value of \[\left| z+\frac{1}{2} \right|:\]

    A)  is equal to \[\frac{5}{2}\]

    B) lies in the interval (1, 2)

    C) is strictly greater than \[\frac{5}{2}\]

    D) is strictly greater than \[\frac{3}{2}\]but less than \[\frac{5}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\left| z \right|\ge 1\] \[\left| z+\frac{1}{2} \right|\ge \left| |z|+\left| \frac{1}{2} \right| \right|\] \[\ge \left| 2-\frac{1}{2} \right|\ge \frac{3}{2}\] Hence, minimum distance between z and \[\left( -\frac{1}{2},0 \right)\] is \[\frac{3}{2}.\]
