The correct answer is: \( R e \in\left\{\frac{3}{2}, \frac{7}{2}\right\} \)

Given, z2=minz1,z5  i 

case 1. when  z-1<z-5
i.e., z-2=z-1  ii

so, here it is clear that  z lies on perpendicular bisector of line joining oints 1,0,2,0 on real axis.,
 Rez=32  which satisfy z-1<z-5.

again  case 2  when  z-5<z-1
z-2=z-5 

here z lies on real line which perpendicular bisector of line joinig points 2,0,5,0
 Rez=72 which satisfy z-5<z-1 .

Hence option 3 is correct.
