10. A 2-wire ring distributor is 300m long and fed at 240V at ‘A’. At ‘B’, 150m away from A, a load of 120A is taken and at ‘C’, 100m away in opposite direction a load of 80A is taken. If the resistance per 100m of single conductor is 0.03Ω, then current in section AB feeder is ___________
a) 86.67 A
b) 48.76 A
c) 88 A
d) 98.4 A
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Resistance per 100m of distributor = 2*0.03 = 0.06Ω
