The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Figure: primary source 220 V, secondary load of 60 W carrying \(i_L = 0.11\ \mathrm{A}\).
Secondary voltage: \(V_2 = \frac{P}{i_L} = \frac{60}{0.11} = 545\ \mathrm{V}\).
Since \(V_2 \gt V_1 = 220\ \mathrm{V}\), the transformer steps the voltage up (with separate primary and secondary coils, so not an auto transformer).

Answer: (3) Step-up transformer
