The correct answer is: 0
We have, $Z,=\sin \frac{2 \pi r}{11}-i \cos \frac{2 \pi}{11}$
$$
=-i\left(\cos \frac{2 \pi r}{11}+i \sin \frac{2 \pi r}{11}\right)
$$
$\therefore$
$$
\begin{aligned}
&=-i e^{\frac{i 2 \pi}{11}} \\
\sum_{r=0}^{10} Z_{r} &=-i \sum_{r=0}^{10} e^{\frac{i 2 \pi}{11}}
\end{aligned}
$$
$$
=-i \times 0=0
$$
