JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2021 - 26th February Evening Shift - No. 18)

Let z be those complex numbers which satisfy

| z + 5 | $$ \le $$ 4 and z(1 + i) + $$\overline z $$(1 $$-$$ i) $$ \ge $$ $$-$$10, i = $$\sqrt { - 1} $$.

If the maximum value of | z + 1 |2 is $$\alpha$$ + $$\beta$$$$\sqrt 2 $$, then the value of ($$\alpha$$ + $$\beta$$) is ____________.
Answer
48

Explanation

Let, z = x + iy

Given, z(1 + i) + $$\overline z $$ (1 $$-$$ i) $$ \ge $$ $$-$$ 10

$$ \Rightarrow $$ z + $$\overline z $$ + i (z $$-$$ $$\overline z $$) $$ \ge $$ $$-$$ 10

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 2x + i (2iy) $$ \ge $$ $$-$$ 10

$$ \Rightarrow $$ x + i2 y $$ \ge $$ $$-$$ 5

$$ \Rightarrow $$ x $$-$$ y $$ \ge $$ $$-$$ 5 ...... (1)

Also given, | z + 5 | $$ \le $$ 4

$$ \Rightarrow $$ | z $$-$$ ($$-$$5 + 0i) | $$ \le $$ 4 ...... (2)

It represents a circle whose center at ($$-$$ 5, 0) and radius 4. z is inside of the circle. JEE Main 2021 (Online) 26th February Evening Shift Mathematics - Complex Numbers Question 109 English Explanation

From (1) and (2) z is the shaded region of the diagram.

Now, | z + 1 | = | z $$-$$ ($$-$$1 + 0 i) | = distance of z from ($$-$$1, 0).

Clearly 'p' is the required position of 'z' when | z + 1 | is maximum.

$$ \therefore $$ P $$ \equiv $$ ($$-$$5 $$-$$ 4 cos45$$^\circ$$, 0 $$-$$ 4sin45$$^\circ$$) = ($$-$$5$$-$$2$$\sqrt 2 $$, $$-$$2$$\sqrt 2 $$)

$$ \therefore $$ (PQ)2|max = 32 + 16$$\sqrt 2 $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\alpha$$ = 32

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\beta$$ = 16

Thus, $$\alpha$$ + $$\beta$$ = 48
