Concept:

Torque of induction motor is

i.e, Torque is directly proportional to square of the voltage

∴ T ∝ V2

Calculation:

Case 1:

Torque = T1

Voltage = V1

Case 2:

Reduction in supply voltage by 10%

Torque = T2

Voltage = V2 = 0.9 V1

T2 = 0.81 T1

% Change in T =  

Therefore, the correct answer is an option (2)
