What is the function of breather in a transformer? Correct Answer To arrest flow of moisture when outside air enters the transformer

Most of the power generation stations use silica gel breathers fitted to conservator of oil filled transformers. The most used purpose of these silica gel breathers is to arrest the moisture when the outside air is sucked in by the transformer during the breathing process.

Consider the following given statements about auto-transformers and choose the one which is/are correct. 1. Auto-transformers require less copper as compared to a conventional,2 winding transformer of the same capacity. 2. Auto-transformers provide isolation between the primary and secondary windings. 3. Auto- transformer has less leakage reactance as compared to the conventional, 2 winding transformer of the same capacity.
If the equivalent resistance and reactance of the transformer referred to the secondary of a single-phase transformer is 0.6 Ω and 0.8 Ω, respectively, the voltage drop in the transformer when supplying a current of 10 A at 0.8 pf lag is:
