Options:
  • A 450 V , 12 A
  • B 600 V , 15 A
  • C 300 V , 15 V
  • D 450 V , 15 A

The correct answer is: 450 V , 15 A
Primary current, $I_{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{3000}{200}=15 \mathrm{~A}$
Output power $=90 \%$ of $3000 \mathrm{~W}=2700 \mathrm{~W}$
Therefore, voltage across the secondary coil, $V_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{2700}{6}=450 \mathrm{~V}$
