Question
An inductor, a resistance and a capacitor are joined in series with an AC source. As the frequency of the source is slightly increased from a very low value, the reactance
Options

of the resistor increases
of the capacitor increases
of the circuit increases

Solution
of the inductor increases
The reactance of an inductor is given by,
`X_L = omegaL`
And the reactance of a capacitor is given by,
`Xc = 1/(omegaC)`
Here, ω = 2πf , where f is the frequency of the source. So, when f increases, ω increases.
∴ XL will increase and XC will decrease.
