Among the statements
(S1) : The set \(\left{\mathrm{z}\in \mathrm{ℂ}-{-\mathrm{i}}:|\mathrm{z}|=1\right.\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{z}-\mathrm{i}}{\mathrm{z}+\mathrm{i}}\) is purely real} contains exactly two elements, and
(S2) : The set \(\left{\mathrm{z}\in \mathrm{ℂ}-{-1}:|\mathrm{z}|=1\right.\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{z}-1}{\mathrm{z}+1}\) is purely imaginary} contains infinitely many elements.
[JEE Main 2025, 7 Apr (Shift 1)]
only (S2) is correct
\(\frac{z+i}{z−i}=\frac{x+i(y+1)}{x+i(y−1)}\times \frac{x−i(y−1)}{x−i(y−1)}\\ =\text{purely real}\)
\(=\frac{({x}^{2}+{y}^{2}−1)+i(x(y+1)−x(y−1))}{{x}^{2}+(y−1{)}^{2}}\)
Imaginary part is zero.
\(x(y+1)=x(y−1)\text{ implies }x=0\text{ and }y\text{ is}\\ \text{ infinitely many values}\)
Therefore statement 1 is wrong.
\(\frac{z−1}{z+1}=\frac{x+iy−1}{x+iy+1}\\ =\frac{(x−1)+iy}{(x+1)+iy}\times \frac{(x+1)−iy}{(x+1)−iy}\)
\(=\frac{(({x}^{2}−1){y}^{2}+i(y(x+1)−y(x−1)))}{{(x+1)}^{2}+{y}^{2}}\)
Purely imaginary implies real part is zero.
\(∴{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}=1\)
Lies on infinitely many points
Therefore statement "2" is true.
