Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
V.R = \(\frac{R}{r} = \frac{800}{200} = 4\)
M.A = \(\frac{L}{E} = \frac{800}{250} = 3.2\)
y = \(\frac{M.A}{v.R} \times \frac{100}{1} = 80\)%
V.R = \(\frac{R}{r} = \frac{800}{200} = 4\)
M.A = \(\frac{L}{E} = \frac{800}{250} = 3.2\)
y = \(\frac{M.A}{v.R} \times \frac{100}{1} = 80\)%
