The maximum value of $|z|$ where z satisfies the condition $\left| {z + \frac{2}{z}} \right| = 2$ is

A

$\sqrt 3 - 1$

B

$\sqrt 3 + 1$

C

$\sqrt 3 $

D

$\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 $

Solution

(b)$\left| {z + \frac{2}{z}} \right| = 2 \Rightarrow |z| – \frac{2}{{|z|}} \le 2$$⇒$ $|z{|^2} – 2|z| – 2 \le 0$
$|z| \le \frac{{2 \pm \sqrt {4 + 8} }}{2} \le 1 \pm \sqrt 3 $.
Hence max. value of $|z|$ is $1 + \sqrt 3 $
