⇒ y − 1 + x = 2y + 2x + 2 + 4y

2 2
⇒ x + y + 4y + 3 = 0

Hence, the locus is a circle.

x ( 2y+1 ) −2x ( y−k )

Imaginary part of u = Im(u) 2 2
x + ( y−k )

Now Re(u)+ Im(u)= 1

( y−k )

⇒ (y − k)(y + 1 + k)= 0

y = k, −(1 + k)

Now point P (0, k), Q(0, −(1 + k))

P Q =|2K + 1|= 5

2k + 1 = ±5

2k = 4, −6

k = 2, −3

Hence, k = 2 (k > 0) .

⇒(1 + 2i)(x + iy)+(2i − 1)(x − iy)= 10i

⇒(x − 2y)+i(2x + y)+(−x + 2y)+i(2x + y)= 10i

⇒ 2i(2x + y)= 10i

Or 2x + y = 5

For interception on imaginary axis
