    If \[i\,\,{{z}^{3}}-{{z}^{2}}+z+i=0,\] then z lies on

    A)  a circle with centre \[(0,\,\,0)\] and radius 1

    B)  a circle with centre  and radius 1

    C)  a circle with centre (0, 1) and radius 1

    D)  a straight line

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, \[i{{z}^{3}}-{{z}^{2}}+1z+i=0\] \[\therefore \] \[i{{z}^{3}}+{{i}^{2}}{{z}^{2}}+z+i=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[i{{z}^{2}}(z+i)+(z+i)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[(i{{z}^{2}}+1)\,(z+i)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[z=-i\] or \[{{z}^{2}}=-\frac{1}{i}=\frac{{{i}^{2}}}{i}=i\] \[\Rightarrow \] Now, \[{{z}^{2}}=i\] On taking mod both sides, we get \[|z{{|}^{2}}=|i|\] \[\therefore \] \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=1\] Hence, centre and radius of circle are \[(0,\,0)\] and 1.
