The voltage phasor of a circuit is $$10\angle {15^0}\,V$$ and the current phasor is $$2\,\,\angle - {45^0}A.$$ The active and the reactive powers in the circuit are

$$10$$ $$W$$ and $$17.32$$ $$VAR.$$

$$5$$ $$W$$ and $$8.66$$ $$VAR$$.

$$20$$ $$W$$ and $$60$$ $$VAR.$$

$$20\,\,\sqrt 2 \,\,W$$ and $$10\sqrt 2 \,\,VAR.$$
