A 6.9 kV/600 V, multi-tap, single-phase distribution transformer is connected to the far end of a distribution line for which the rear end voltage is maintained at 6.9 kV. The equivalent impedance of the transformer referred to low voltage side is 0.05 + j0.25 Ω per phase. The impedance of each line is 1 + j2 Ω. It is required to maintain a terminal voltage of 600 V when the line current of 300 A at 80% pf lagging is delivered to the load. What approximate percentage tapping is required in the primary side? Neglect the changes in impedance due to changes in turns ratio.   A. 94 % B. 92 % C. 90 % D. 88 %
