A capacitor, used for power factor correction in a single phase circui

1.	A capacitor, used for power factor correction in a single phase circuit decreases which of the following?(a) Power factor(b) Line current(c) Both Line current and Power factor(d) Neither Line current nor Power factorThe question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.The doubt is from Advanced Problems on Network Theory topic in chapter Network Theory and Complex Circuit Diagram of Network Theory
Answer» RIGHT answer is (B) Line current The EXPLANATION: We KNOW that a capacitor is used to INCREASE the Power factor. However, with decrease in line current the power factor is increased. Hence line current decreases.
