Answer»

Right choice is (d) None of the mentioned

To explain I WOULD say: As the formula involves INPUT and output it is an open SYSTEM, and also as it involves GENERATION and consumption the system is REACTIVE, and since the input is not equal to output so the system is unsteady-state, and the answer is d.
