Question 7 of 90 in this shift, Maths question 7 of 30, Section A.

Let C be the circle in the complex plane with centre z0=12(1+3i)z_0=\frac{1}{2}(1+3i) and radius r=1r=1. Let z1=1+iz_1=1+i and the complex number z2z_2 be outside the circle C such that ∣z1−z0∣∣z2−z0∣=1|z_1-z_0||z_2-z_0|=1. If z0z_0, z1z_1 and z2z_2 are collinear, then the smaller value of ∣z2∣2|z_2|^2 is equal to
