Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(|z|=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\omega=\frac{z-1}{z+1}\) Then, using componendo and dividendo, we get \[ \begin{array}{l} \quad z=\frac{1+\omega}{1-\omega} \\ \Rightarrow \quad|z|=\left|\frac{\omega+1}{\omega-1}\right| \\ \Rightarrow \quad|z|=1 \\ \Rightarrow \quad|\omega+1|=|\omega-1| \end{array} \] Let…
