The correct answer is: 104

Let, Z1 satisfies Zn+1=-Z
Z1 also satisfies Zn+1=-Z
Z1 also satisfies Zn+1=1
Z1n+1=11
Now, Z1=1Z1n=12
From 1 & 2,
we get, Z1n must be the point of intersection of
Z=1 & Zn+1=1
Z1n=ω or ω2 {where, ω is non-real cube root of unity}
Z1 can be ω or ω2 

n is of the form of 3k+2
