The correct answer is: 0
$z_{1} \bar{z}_{1}=z_{2} \bar{z}_{2}=\ldots .=z_{n} \bar{z}_{n}=1$

$\Rightarrow \overline{\mathrm{z}}_{1}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{z}_{1}}, \overline{\mathrm{z}}_{2}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{z}_{2}}, \overline{\mathrm{z}}_{3}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{z}_{3}}, \ldots \ldots, \overline{\mathrm{z}}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{n}}}$

$\therefore\left|z_{1}+z_{2}+\ldots .+z_{n}\right|-\left|\frac{1}{z_{1}}+\frac{1}{z_{2}}+\ldots .+\frac{1}{z_{n}}\right|$

$=\left|z_{1}+z_{2}+\ldots+z_{n}\right|-\left|\bar{z}_{1}+\bar{z}_{2}+\ldots .+\bar{z}_{n}\right|=0$
