Correct answer
A5Reω>1

Step-by-step explanation

Given z<1 and ω=5+3z51-z

5ω1-z=5+3z

5ω-5ωz=5+3z

z=5ω-53+5ω

Using the given condition z=5ω-13+5ω<1


5ω-1<3+5ω

5ω-1<5ω+35

ω-1<ω--35

We know that the locus of a complex number z1 satisfying z1-a=z2-b is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points a and b.

Hence, the locus of the point ω satisfying ω-1=ω--35 is the line x=1-352=15

Hence, Reω>15

5Reω>1.
