$$\mid{z}\mid+\mid\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{z}}\mid\geqslant\mid{z}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{z}}\mid \\ $$$${For}\:{Maximum}\:\mid{z}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{z}}\mid=\mid{z}\mid+\mid\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{z}}\mid \\ $$$$\mid{z}\mid+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mid{z}\mid}={a}\Rightarrow\mid{z}\mid=\frac{{a}\pm\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${Maximum}\:{Value}\:\mid{z}\mid_{{max}} =\frac{{a}+\sqrt{{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
