Solution

The correct option is B 0.09 Ω/phase
Synchronous speed, Ns=120×506=1000 rpm

Stalling speed = 900 rpm

Slip at stalling speed, s=10009001000=0.1

Slip at maximum torque;
SmT=R2X2=0.01X2

0.1=0.01X2

X2=0.1 Ω

To obtain maximum torque at starting,
Let rotor resistance =R2
at starting s = 1

SmT=R2X2

1=R20.1

R2=0.1 Ω/phase

The external resistance to be added

Rext=0.10.01

=0.09 Ω/phase
