Question
**Problem: Reactive Power Calculation**

A load of \(240 + j 120\) is connected to a source of 240 V with a phase angle of \(30^\circ\), through a transmission line with an inductive reactance of 60 ohms. A capacitor bank of capacitive reactance of 120 ohms is connected in parallel to the load. The total reactive power supplied by the load is:

Options:
- A. 1920 vars
- B. 960 vars
- C. 1440 vars
- D. None of the choices are correct
- E. 480 vars
