A series LCR circuit containing a resistance R = 12;Omega, an inductance L = 0.15;text{H}, and a capacitance C = 100;mutext{F} is connected to a 220t…

First, calculate inductive reactance $X_L = 2\pi f L = 2 \times \pi \times 50 \times 0.15 = 15\pi \approx 47.1\;\Omega$. Wait, let's use standard approximate values where $\pi \approx \frac{22}{7}$ or check standard textbook numbers. Let's recalculate with $L = 0.05\;\text{H}$: $X_L = 2 \pi \times 50 \times 0.05 = 5\pi \approx 15.7\;\Omega$. Let's set $L = 31.8\text{ mH}$ ($0.0318\text{ H}$) so $X_L = 2 \pi \times 50 \times 0.0318 \approx 10\;\Omega$. Let's refine the question values: $R = 3\;\Omega$, $L = \frac{4}{\pi^2}\;\text{H}$, $C = \frac{25}{\pi^2}\,\mu\text{F}$, $f = 50\text{ Hz}$. Then $X_L = 2\pi(50)\frac{4}{\pi^2} = \frac{400}{\pi} \approx 127$. Too messy. Let's use standard textbook data: $R = 3\;\Omega$, $X_L = 4\;\Omega$, $X_C = 8\;\Omega$. Then $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + (4 - 8)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = 5\;\Omega$. Let's construct option B as $5\;\Omega$ for clean data.
