Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know,
\(X_L=\omega L\) ....(i)
\(\Rightarrow X_L \propto \omega\)
Similarly,
\(\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{\omega}\)
Given \(X_L^1=2 X_L\) \(\ldots .(\because \omega=2 \omega)\)
\(X_C^1=\frac{X_c}{2}\)
\(\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}^1}{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{L}}^1}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}}{2}}{2 \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{L}}}=\frac{1}{4}\)
....(from (i))
