The correct answer is: 15

From the diagram given,

Angular frequency ω=100 rad s-1 and Vrms=V02=2022=20 V.

Now, XL=ωL=100×100×10-3=10 Ω and XC=1ωC=1100×100×10-6=100 Ω

XL-XC=10-100=90 Ω

The impedance of the circuit,

Z=XL-XC2+R2=902+1202=150 Ω

The current in the circuit,

imrs=VrmsZ=20150 A 

Power factor cosϕ=RZ

Now

Δt=15 s
