i for 80/i for 40=0.66,
given i for 40 = 50,
then i for 80=50*0.66=33 A so option c is correct.

Since Vm is constant for the two cases, the ratio can be written as:
(1+cos40°)/(1+cos80°) = 50A/X.

Solve for X, and you get the average anode current of 33.23A for 80° firing angle.

Since 33.23A is less than 50A but more than 25A, option C is correct.
