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

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

                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).

                Power factor is always less than 1.

                POWER FACTOR = (R/Z).
Z = SQRT(1.5^2 +2.2^2).
Z = 2.662.
P.F. = 1.5/2.662 = .563.
                Z = SQRT(1.5^2 +2.2^2).
Z = 2.662.
P.F. = 1.5/2.662 = .563.

                Z = sqrt(1500^2+2200^2) = 2663.
pf = R/Z = 1500/2663 = 0.564.
                pf = R/Z = 1500/2663 = 0.564.

                |z|=sqrt(1500^2+2200^2)=2663
Angle=inverse tan(2200\1500)=55.7
Power Factor=Cos(55.7)=0.564
                Angle=inverse tan(2200\1500)=55.7
Power Factor=Cos(55.7)=0.564

                Generally power factor i.e. cos(angle b/w v,i) always less than one.

                R/Z = 0.405 not 0.564 as you put it Sanjeeb

                COSQ=R/Z=1.5/1.5+2.2=0.564
