$A$ circuit element $X$ when connected to an a.c. supply of peak voltage $100\,V$ gives a peak current of $5\,A$ which is in phase with the voltage. $A$ second element $Y$ when connected to the same a.c. supply also gives the same value of peak current which lags behind the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$. If $X$ and $Y$ are connected in series to the same supply,what will be the rms value of the current in ampere?

  • A
    $\frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $5 \sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{2}$
