Understanding Set

  • Set
  • This represents a region in the complex plane.

Center and Radii of

  • Center
  • Inner radius
  • Outer radius

The Annular Region

  • The region is an annulus (ring) between the two circles.

Defining Set

  • Set
  • Set contains points of that also satisfy a new circle equation.

Center and Radius of

  • Center
  • Radius

Distance Between Centers

  • We need to find how these circles interact.
  • Distance between and

Calculating Distance

Evaluating Distance

Analyzing the Intersection

  • Distance matches the outer radius of set .
  • This means lies exactly on the outer boundary of .

Distance Range for Circle

  • For any point on circle , what is its distance to ?
  • Minimum distance
  • Maximum distance

Matching with Set 's Condition

  • Points on circle have distances to in the range .
  • Set requires the distance to to be in .

Identifying the Overlap

  • The overlap happens for distances in .
  • This corresponds to a continuous segment (an arc) on circle .

Conclusion: Infinite Set

  • An arc of a circle contains an infinite number of points.
  • Therefore, set is an infinite set.
  • Correct Option: (4)

Analyzing the Geometry of Set

The set is defined by the condition . In the complex plane, the expression represents a circle centered at with radius .
Here, the center is , corresponding to the coordinate . The inequality defines an annulus (a ring-shaped region) centered at with an inner radius of and an outer radius of .

Defining Set

Set is defined as the intersection of set with the condition . This condition represents a circle centered at , which corresponds to the coordinate , with a radius of .
To understand the interaction between these two sets, we calculate the distance between the centers and :

The Intersection Analysis

The distance between the centers is exactly , which is equal to the outer radius of the annulus . This implies that the center lies exactly on the outer boundary of the annulus.
For any point on the circle , the distance from is constrained by the triangle inequality. The distance must fall within the range:
Set requires that the distance from must be in the interval . Consequently, the intersection of the circle and the annulus consists of all points on the circle that satisfy:

Conclusion

Since the range of distances for points on the circle is , the subset of the circle that falls within the annulus forms a continuous arc.
Because this arc contains an infinite number of points, we conclude that set is an infinite set.
