- D.(2, 0)
Answer
A. (0, $$-$$2)
Explanation
$\left|\frac{z-2 i}{z+i}\right|=2$ $\Rightarrow (z-2 i)(\bar{z}+2 i)=4(z+i)(\bar{z}-i)$ $\Rightarrow z \bar{z}+2 i z-2 i \bar{z}+4=4(z \bar{z}-z i+\overline{z i}+1)$ $\Rightarrow 3 z \bar{z}-6 i z+6 i \bar{z}=0$ $\Rightarrow z \bar{z}-2 i z+2 i \bar{z}=0$ $\therefore$ Centre $(-2 i)$ or $(0,-2)$ Other Method : $\left|\frac{z-2 i}{z+i}\right|=2, z \neq-i$ Put $z=x+i y$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \left|\frac{x+i y-2 i}{x+i y+i}\right|=2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \left|\frac{x+i(y-2)}{x+i(y+1)}\right|^2=4 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+(y-2)^2=4\left[x^2+(y+1)^2\right] \\\\ & \Rightarrow x^2+y^2+4-4 y=4\left[x^2+y^2+1+2 y\right] \end{aligned} $$ $\Rightarrow$ $x^2+y^2+4 y=0$ or $x^2+(y+2)^2=2^2$ $$ \therefore $$ Centre is $(0,-2)$.
