A number of investigations have been made of the dependence of largest angular size (LAS) of quasars on their redshifts Z (Miley 1971; Wardle and Miley 1974; Hooley ET AL. 1978; Wills 1979; Masson 1980). The earlier workers found a relation LAS ∝ Z−1 indicating a decrease in linear size of quasars as (1+Z)−n, where 1 < n < 3. The latter workers have argued that the apparent decrease is perhaps caused by an inverse correlation between LAS and radio luminosity. It is also interesting to investigate the dependence of size of hot-spots on luminosity and Z.
