Correct Answer - C
It self-inductance of two coils are respecitvely `L_(1) and L_(2)` and their mutual inductance is M, then
`L=L_(1)+L_(2)+2M=L_(1)+L_(2)+2ksqrt(L_(1)L_(2))` [k = coefficient of coupling of the coils]
`=6+8+2xx1xxsqrt(6xx8)" "[because L_(1)=6mH,L_(2)=8mH" and highest value of k = 1"]`
`~~28mH`
