Which of the following is a possible cause of an unbalanced load in a three-phase system?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Differences in load resistance across phases

An unbalanced load occurs when the load resistance across the three phases is different. This leads to unequal current flow in each phase.
