Solution

The correct option is D For any three given distinct complex numbers z1,z2 and z3, the locus of the point z satisfying the condition arg((zz1)(z2z3)(zz3)(z2z1))=π,
lies on a straight line.
arg(1i)=π4π=3π4
f(t)=arg(1+it)={πtan1t, t0tan1tπ, t<0
Clearly, f is discontinuous at t=0.

arg(z1z2)arg(z1)+arg(z2)
=arg(z1)arg(z2)+2nπarg(z1)+arg(z2)
=2nπ

arg((zz1)(z2z3)(zz3)(z2z1))=π
arg(zz1z2z1)+arg(z2z3zz3)=π
z, z1, z2, z3 are concyclic.
Hence, locus of z is a circle.
