A wattmeter reads $$400$$ $$W$$ when its current coil is connected in the $$R$$ phase and its pressure coil is connected between this phase and the neutral of a symmetrical $$3$$-phase system supplying a balanced star connected $$0.8$$ $$p.f.$$ inductive load. The phase sequence is $$RYB.$$ What will be the reading of this wattmeter if its pressure coil alone is reconnected between the $$B$$ and $$Y$$ phases, all other connections remaining as before?
A
$$400.0$$
B
$$519.6$$
C
$$300.0$$
D
$$692.8$$
