Options:
  • A $4.0 \mathrm{~A}$
  • B $8.0 \mathrm{~A}$
  • C $\frac{20}{\sqrt{13}} \mathrm{~A}$
  • D $2.0 \mathrm{~A}$

The correct answer is: $4.0 \mathrm{~A}$
If $\omega=50 \times 2 \pi$ then $\omega L=20 \Omega$
Similarly $\omega^{\prime}=100 \times 2 \pi$ then $\omega^{\prime} L=40 \Omega$
$$
\begin{aligned}
i & =\frac{200}{Z}=\frac{200}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(\omega^{\prime} L\right)^2}} \\
& =\frac{200}{\sqrt{(30)^2+(40)^2}}=4 \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}
