    As, 2L + 2M = 12
    2L – 2M = 4
    Then, L = 4
    ⇒ M = 2
    To get maximum value in parallel connection,

    Lmax =
    (L + M)(L + M)
    = 3 mH.
    2L + 2M

    Correct Option: A

    As, 2L + 2M = 12
    2L – 2M = 4
    Then, L = 4
    ⇒ M = 2
    To get maximum value in parallel connection,

    Lmax =
    (L + M)(L + M)
    = 3 mH.
    2L + 2M

    Current through the 4-ohm resistor = i -
    i
    =
    3i
    44

    Therefore, voltage drop across it =
    3i
    × 4 = 3i which must equal V.
    4

    Thus effective resistance faced by the voltage source is 3 Ω .

    When two inductors are connected in series, the effective inductance
    Leff = L1 + L2 ± 2M
    In this case, Leff = L1 + L2 – 2M
    = 2 + 4 – 2 × 0.15 = 5.7 mH.

    Correct Option: C

    When two inductors are connected in series, the effective inductance
    Leff = L1 + L2 ± 2M
    In this case, Leff = L1 + L2 – 2M
    = 2 + 4 – 2 × 0.15 = 5.7 mH.
