Solution

The correct option is D 92.63%
If=20040=5A

Ia=If+IL=195+5=200A

Copper losses =I2aRa+I2fRf

=(200)2×0.03+52×40=2200 W

Output power = VtIL=195×200=39000 W

Input power = Output power + Cu losses + Stray losses

=39000+2200+900=42100 W

Efficiency, η=outputinput×100%
=3900042100×100%=92.63%
