The correct answer is option 

Concept:

The impedance of the primary winding is Z1

The impedance of the secondary winding is Z2

The total impedance of the transformer referred to primary

Z = Z1 + Z2 ( \(N_1 \over N_2\) )2

Calculation:

Given

\(N_1 \over N_2\) = 10

Z1 =   3 + j 5 Ω 

Z2 = 0.5 + j 0.8 Ω

Z = Z1 + Z2 ( \(N_1 \over N_2\) )2

=  3 + j 5 + (0.5 + j 0.8) × 102

= 53·0 + j 85 Ω
