Answer:
C
Solution:

Given, θ1+θ2+.....+θ10=2πz1=eiθ1, zk=zk-1eiθk

Now, zk=zk-1eiθk

z2=z1eiθ1, z3=z2eiθ2, 

As, z1=eiθ1z1=1

z2=z1eiθz2=z1=1

Similarly z1=z2=zk=1

z1,z2,,zk lies on a circle of unit radius.

We know, zk-zk-1 represents a line segment joining zk & zk-1.

Both zk & zk-1 lies on a unit circle

Since θ1+θ2+....+θ10=2π

We get 

So, z2-z1,z3-z2,,z1-z10 are the sides of a decagon circumscribed by a circle of unit radius

We know, the sum of the length of sides of a decagon is less than the circumference of its circumcircle.

z2-z1+z3-z2++z10-z9+z1-z102π

Hence, P is true.

Similarly, z12=ei2θ1, zk2=zk-12ei2θk, 

So, z22-z12, z32-z22, z42-z32, z52-z42, z62-z52 are 
the sides of a pentagon circumscribed by a circle of unit radius

So, z22-z12+z32-z22+z62-z522π

Similarly, z72-z82++z12-z1022π

Adding these equations, we get

z22-z12+z32-z22++z102-z92+z12-z1024π

Hence, Q is true.
