JEE Math Practice Question

Let $$\mathrm{C}$$ be the circle in the complex plane with centre $$\mathrm{z}_{0}=\frac{1}{2}(1+3 i)$$ and radius $$r=1$$. Let $$\mathrm{z}_{1}=1+\mathrm{i}$$ and the complex number $$z_{2}$$ be outside the circle $$C$$ such that $$\left|z_{1}-z_{0}\right|\left|z_{2}-z_{0}\right|=1$$. If $$z_{0}, z_{1}$$ and $$z_{2}$$ are collinear, then the smaller value of $$\left|z_{2}\right|^{2}$$ is equal to :

  1. A.$$\frac{3}{2}$$
  2. B.$$\frac{5}{2}$$
  3. C.$$\frac{13}{2}$$
  4. D.$$\frac{7}{2}$$
