The line currents in amperes in phases a, b and c respectively are 500 +j150, 100 – j600 and – 300 + j600 referred to the same reference vector with phase sequence of abc. Find the symmetrical component of currents.

Ia₀ = (100+j50) AIa₁ = (546.41+j165.47) AIa₂ = (-146.41-j65.47) A
Ia₀ = (100+j50) AIa₁ = (146.41+ j65.47) AIa₂ = (546.41-j165.47) A
Ia₀ = (100+j50) AIa₁ = (200+ j107.75) AIa₂ = (200-j107.75) A
Ia₀ = (100+j50) AIa₁ = (546.41+ j165.47) AIa₂ = (546.41-j165.47) A
