@All.
The main simple thing we need to see here is the power factor should not be greater than 1.

Power factor = R ÷ Z.
So, R = 1.3k ohm = 1.3 * 10^3 =1300 ohm,
inductive reactians FL = 2.2k ohm =2.2 * 10^3,
= 2200 ohm.
&. Z = (?).
Z = √(R^2 + FL^2),
Z = √(1500^2 + 2200^2),
Z= 2663.
& Power factor = R ÷ Z,
= 1500 ÷ 2663,
= 0.5632.
So, ans is (0.564).

R = 1.5.
Xl = 2.2.
Z = Root of R square+xl square.
Cos = R/Z.
Xl = 2.2.
Z = Root of R square+xl square.
Cos = R/Z.

Z=(r^2+XL^2)^1/2=2663.
P.f = cosq = r/z
0.564.
P.f = cosq = r/z
0.564.

R/Z=0.405 not 0.564.

Power factor always less than 1 use common sense, so simple.

tan 2.2/1.5 = 1.4667, arc tan 1.4667 = 55.71 deg.,
Therefore cos 55.71 deg. = 0.564 or pf = 0.564(lagging).
Therefore cos 55.71 deg. = 0.564 or pf = 0.564(lagging).

Using all method above we get close intervals of answers. Since it all corresponds to electric quantities.

Power factor is always less than 1.
