Which of the following is correct for any two complex numbers ${z_1}\text{ and }{z_2}$?
$(A)\left| {{z_1}{z_2}} \right| = \left| {{z_1}} \right|\left| {{z_2}} \right|$
$(B)\left| {{z_1} + {z_2}} \right| = \left| {{z_1}} \right| + \left| {{z_2}} \right|$
$(C)arg\left( {{z_1}{z_2}} \right) = arg\left( {{z_1}} \right).arg\left( {{z_2}} \right)$

Ans: Option A is correct answer
complex numbers ${z_1}{\text{ and }}{z_2}$.
Let ${z_1} = {r_1}\left( {\cos {\theta _1} + i\sin {\theta _1}} \right)$ and ${z_2} = {r_2}\left( {\cos {\theta _2} + i\sin {\theta _2}} \right)$ are two complex numbers.
${{\text{ Let }}} {{z_1} = {r_1}\left( {\cos {\theta _1} + i\sin {\theta _1}} \right)}$
$\Rightarrow {\left| {{z_1}} \right| = {r_1}.....\left( i \right)}$
and $ {z_2} = {r_2}\left( {\cos {\theta _2} + i\sin {\theta _2}} \right)$
$\Rightarrow \left| {{z_2}} \right| = {r_2}.....\left( {ii} \right)$
Now,
${z_1}{z_2} = {r_1}{r_2}\left[ {\cos {\theta _1}\cos {\theta _2} + i\sin {\theta _1}\cos {\theta _2} + i\cos {\theta _1}\sin {\theta _2} + {i^2}\sin {\theta _1}\sin {\theta _2}} \right]$
$= {r_1}{r_2}\left[ {\cos \left( {{\theta _1} + {\theta _2}} \right) + i\sin \left( {{\theta _1} + {\theta _2}} \right)} \right]$
$\Rightarrow \left| {{z_1}{z_2}} \right| = {r_1}{r_2}$
$\therefore \left| {{z_1}{z_2}} \right| = \left| {{z_1}} \right|\left| {{z_2}} \right|\left[ {{\text{Using equation }}\left( i \right){\text{ and }}\left( {ii} \right)} \right]$
