(a) Determining the source frequency (w)

We know, w=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5\times 80\times 10^{-6}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{400\times 10^{-6}}}

                w=\frac{1000}{20}=50Hz

(b) Calculating the impedance of the given circuit and amplitude of current at resonance.

At resonance  Z=R=40\; \Omega

I^{max}_{m}=\frac{230\sqrt{2}}{R}=\frac{230\sqrt{2}}{40}=8.1\; A

(c) the potential drop across L and C,

At resonance 

X_{C}=X_{L}

iX_{C}=iX_{L}

implies that 

V_{C}=V_{L}

V_{C}-V_{L}=0
