In a series $LCR$ circuit,the inductive reactance $(X_{L})$ is $10\, \Omega$ and the capacitive reactance $(X_{C})$ is $4\, \Omega$. The resistance $(R)$ in the circuit is $6\, \Omega$. The power factor of the circuit is :

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
