Correct option is C

Voltage regulation of a transformer (approximate) is given by:% ⁣VR=I(Reqcosϕ+Xeqsinϕ)V×100Given: Load current I=10 A Secondary voltage V=480 V Power factor =0.8 lagcosϕ=0.8,sinϕ=0.6 Equivalent resistance Req=0.6 Ω Equivalent reactance Xeq=0.8 ΩCalculation:% ⁣VR=10(0.6×0.8+0.8×0.6)480×100=10(0.48+0.48)480×100=10×0.96480×100=9.6480×100=2%\text{Voltage regulation of a transformer (approximate) is given by:} \\[8pt]\%\!VR = \frac{I\left(R_{\text{eq}}\cos\phi + X_{\text{eq}}\sin\phi\right)}{V} \times 100 \\[12pt]\textbf{Given:} \\[6pt]\bullet \ \text{Load current } I = 10 \text{ A} \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{Secondary voltage } V = 480 \text{ V} \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{Power factor } = 0.8 \text{ lag} \\[6pt]\cos\phi = 0.8, \quad \sin\phi = 0.6 \\[8pt]\bullet \ \text{Equivalent resistance } R_{\text{eq}} = 0.6 \, \Omega \\[4pt]\bullet \ \text{Equivalent reactance } X_{\text{eq}} = 0.8 \, \Omega \\[14pt]\textbf{Calculation:} \\[8pt]\%\!VR = \frac{10(0.6 \times 0.8 + 0.8 \times 0.6)}{480} \times 100 \\[10pt]= \frac{10(0.48 + 0.48)}{480} \times 100 \\[10pt]= \frac{10 \times 0.96}{480} \times 100 \\[10pt]= \frac{9.6}{480} \times 100 = 2\%​​
