A small town with a demand of 800 kW of power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5Omega . km^-1 . The line gets power from the line through a 4000-220 V step-down transformer at a substation in the town. How much power must the plant supply, assuming there is negligible power loss due to leakage.

The teachers of Geeta's school took the students on a study trip to a power generating station, located nearly 200km away from the city. The teacher explained that electrical energy is transmitted over such a long distance to their city. In the form of alternating current (ac) raised to a high voltage. At the receiving end in the city, the voltage is reduced to operate the devices. As a result, the power loss is reduced. Geeta listened to the teacher and asked questions about how the ac is converted to a higher or lower voltage. Write two values each shown by the teachers and geeta,

Statement 1: The probability of drawing either an ace or a king from a pack of card in a single draw is 2/13. Statement 2: for two events Aa n dB which are not mutually exclusive, P(AuuB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AnnB)dot a) statement 1 and 2 both are true and statement 2 is correct explaination for statement 1. (b) statement 1 and 2 both are true but statement 2 is not the correct explaination for statement 1. (c) only statement 1 is true. (d) both the statements are false.
