∵∣z∣=1 & Rez=1 Suppose z=x+iy⇒x2+y2=1……(i) Now, w=1−z1+(1−8α)z⇒w=1−(x+iy)1+(1−8α)(x+iy)⇒w=1−(x+iy))((1−x)+iy)1+(1−8α)(x+iy))((1−x)+iy)⇒w=(1−x)2+y2[(1+x(1−8α)(1−x)−(1−8)y2]+i(1−x)2+y2[(1+x(1−8α))y−(1−8α)y(1−x)] If, w is purely imaginary. So, Rew=(1−x)2+y2[(1+x(1−8α))(1−α)−(1−8α)y2]=0⇒(1−x)+x(1−8α)(1−x)=(1−8)y2⇒(1−x)+x(1−8α)−x2(1−8α)=(1−8x)y2⇒(1−x)+x(1−8α)=1−8α[ From (i),x2+y2=1] ⇒1−8α=1 ⇒α=0 ∴α∈{0}

If the quadratic equation $(\lambda+2)x^2-3\lambda x+4\lambda=0$, $\lambda \neq -2$, has two positive roots, then the number of possible integral values of $\lambda$ is:
The value of $\frac{{ }^{100} \mathrm{C}_{50}}{51}+\frac{{ }^{100} \mathrm{C}_{51}}{52}+\ldots.+\frac{{ }^{100} \mathrm{C}_{100}}{101}$ is :
Let $e_1$ and $e_2$ be two distinct roots of the equation $x^2 - ax + 2 = 0$. Let the sets $\{a \in \mathbb{R} : e_1 \text{ and } e_2 \text{ are the eccentricities of hyperbolas}\} = (\alpha, \beta)$, and $\{a \in \mathbb{R} : e_1 \text{ and } e_2 \text{ are the eccentricities of an ellipse and a hyperbola, respectively}\} = (\gamma, \infty)$. Then $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2$ is equal to:
