3. reduce by 12.5%
4. remain unchanged

8. Effect of temperature rise in overhead lines is to

2. More than that in winter
3. Same as in winter
4. None of these

10. The sag of a transmission line is least affected owing to

1. weight of the conductor
2. current through the conductor
3. atmospheric temperature
4. ice deposition on the conductor
