Correct option is A)

In LR circuit,

The time constant τ=

R

L

10=

R

L

L=10R. . . . . . .(1)

When Resistance 100Ω is connect in series, than the time constant is

τ

=

R+100

L

=2s

L=2R+200. . . . . . .(2)

Equating equation (1 ) and (2), we get

2R+200=10R

8R=200

R=25Ω

From equation (1),

L=10R=10×25

L=250H
