There are two reasons; one reason from electrical and the
second one from practical point of view:
1- Low current on HV side makes tap changing smoother and
lowers stresses on the diverter switch.
2- HV windings are generally on the LV windings(consider
concentric HV and LV windings). Therefore the wiring of the
taps would be easier in comparison to the case where the
taps on LV side may be wired through HV windings.

How line capacitance & line inductance varies with increase in height tower.
What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side

current transformer balance the power level on both sides. e.g in case of step up, at secondary side voltage rise but current decrease and vice versa in case of step down transformer. but how this power level remains same in case of current transformer and voltage transformer
