Concept:

DC shunt motor is a motor in which shunt field winding is directly connected across supply and since the voltage is constant therefore it is also called a constant flux device.

Performance eqn of DC shunt motors are

Eb = Vt - IaRa

or, Eb = Kaϕω       _ _ _ _ _ (1)

and τ = KaϕIa       _ _ _ _ _ (2)

Eb1 = 220 - 50 × 0.2

= 220 - 10 = 210 V

Since, Torque is double i.e., armature current is doubled

i.e., Ia2 = 2 × Ia1 = 2 × 50 = 100 A

∴ Eb2 = 220 - 100 × 0.2

= 200 V

Therefore, the correct option is (4).
