Solution

The correct option is B 11.15 kV
Ia (rated) =10003×6.6=87.5A

Vt=66003=3810.6V

Operation at 0.8 lagging pf rated terminal voltage
Ef=Vt+jIaXs

=3810.6+j87.5(0.8j0.6)25

=5123+j1750=5413.718.86

|Ef|=5413.7V

Operation at 0.8 leading pf with excitation remaining unchanged

Also jIaXs=j87.5(j0.8+j0.6)×25

=2187.5126.87

=2187.553.13


From the phasor diagram:
5413.7sin53.13=2187.5sinδ

δ=18.8

Also, Vtsin108.1=2187.50.323

Vt=6437.3V (or) 11.15kV(line)
