    Solution

    As $|\mathrm{z}|=\mathrm{r}=1$ so we have $\mathrm{z}=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} \theta}$ and $\frac{\mathrm{z}}{\overline{\mathrm{z}}}=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} 2 \theta}$

    \[ \left|\frac{\mathrm{z}}{\overline{\mathrm{z}}}+\frac{\overline{\mathrm{z}}}{\mathrm{z}}\right|=\left|\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} 2 \theta}+\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{i} 2 \theta}\right|=1 \Rightarrow|\cos 2 \theta|=\frac{1}{2} \]

    From graph we can conclude that given equation has 8 solution if $\theta \in[0,2 \pi]^{\mathrm{l}}$
