Question 1 Explanation:
We have,
\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{S}} \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}}}{\mathrm{B}} \cos (\beta-\delta)-\frac{\mathrm{AV}_{\mathrm{R}}^{2}}{\mathrm{~B}} \cos (\beta-\alpha)
At max. power,
\delta=\beta
where, \beta= angle of T-parameter of B.
\pi-Model :

[T]=\begin{bmatrix} 1+\frac{yz}{2} &z \\ y\left ( 1+ \frac{yz}{4}\right )& 1+ \frac{yz}{2}\\ \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} A & B\\ C&D \end{bmatrix}
\therefore \quad B=z
=(0.035 \times 400)+j(2 \pi \times 50 \times 10^{-3} \times 400) = 126.44\angle 83.643^{\circ}\Omega

the length of the line, connecting a generator bus to a load bus, is protected up to 80%
of its length by a distance relay placed at the generator bus. The generator terminal

For 80% of line,
I_{f}=\frac{1}{0.16}=6.25\: p.u.
