$A$ small town with a demand of $900 \text{ kW}$ of electric power at $220 \text{ V}$ is situated $20 \text{ km}$ away from an electric power generating station. The two-wire line has a resistance per unit length of $5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ } \Omega \text{ m}^{-1}$. The town gets power from the line through a $45000 \text{ V}$ to $220 \text{ V}$ step-down transformer at a substation in the town. The line power loss in the form of heat is: (in $text{ kW}$)

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $40$
