Detailed Solution
Clearly both z1 and z2 cannot be 0. Supposez2≠0. We can write |z1−z2z1+z2|=1, as |z1/z2−1z1/z2+1|=1 or as |z1z2−1|=|z1z2+1|.This shows that z1/z2 lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining A(−1 + i0) and B(1 + i0) Thus, z1/z2 lies on the imaginary axis.∴ z1/z2=ia for some a ∈ R.⇒ z2/z1=1/ia=−i/a⇒ z2=ikz1 for some k ∈ RAlternative Solution: O(0), A(z1), B(z1+z2) and c(z2) are the vertices of a parallelogram.Its diagonals OB(z1+z2) and CA(z1−z2) will be equal if and only if OABC is a rectangle, that is, z2/z1 is purely imaginary.
