Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
x4=1
x2=±1
x=±1 and x=±i
Hence
z1=1,z2=1,z3=i,z4=i
Thus
z2
=1+111
=0
z
=11+ii
=0
However Statement 2, is not the correct explanation of statement 1.
z21+z22+z23+z24 is 0 since the roots appear in conjugate pairs.
