(N/A) The type of electric current generated by most power stations in India is Alternating Current $(AC)$.
$(b)$ Alternating Current $(AC)$ is preferred over Direct Current $(DC)$ because it can be transmitted over long distances with minimal loss of electrical energy using step-up transformers.
$(c)$ The frequency of the power supply generated in India is $50 \ Hz$.
