How much more or less was your answer? The capacitor reduces power factor, therby counteracting the inductive effect of the choke. If power factor is reduced the circuit is more efficient and consumes less power and therefore less current. If the assessor doesn't like this level of response, ask...

Just say the capacitor reduces power factor and therefore reduces current. That is all that is required in a "2" series exam/assessment. Ar you sure it is the 206? sounds more like 204 to me.
