A parallel combination of pure inductor and capacitor is connected across a source of alternating e.m.f. ā€˜ eā€™. The currents flowing through an inductor and capacitor are and respectively. In this parallel resonant circuit, the condition for currents , and is ( net r.m.s. current in the circuit) (A) (B) (C) (D)

The correct option is option (A)

In parallel resonant circuit, the capacitive and inductive reactance are equal, hence currents are equal but out of phase with each other. The net current is zero.
