Long Distance Power Transmission

Long distance power transmission is carried on high voltage line. Why ?

Do the same exercise as above with the replacement of the earlier transformer by a 40,000-220 V step-down transformer (Neglect, as before, leakage losses though this may not be a good assumption any longer because of the very high voltage transmission involved). Hence, explain why high voltage transmission is preferred?

Assertion (A): AC load line is used for long distance transmission. Reason (R): It has very less loss of energy in long distance transmission.
