Suppose a<0 and z1,z2,z3,z4  4 be the fourth roots of a then z12+z22+z32+z42 is equal 

a
−a2
b
|a|−a
c
a+|a|
d
a2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Let a=−b4 where b>0. Than z4=a=b4(−1)  ⇒z    =b±cos⁡π4±isin⁡π4    ∴     z12+z22+z32+z42        =2b2cos⁡π2−isin⁡π2+cos⁡π2+isin⁡π2        =0=a+|a|    [∵a<0]
