What is the phase relationship between the phase voltage and line voltage in a 2 phase electric transmission system?

Well if you click 2 phase electricity you will see many answers. I recommend the second Wikipedia link. In short, pi/2.

Actually, anything you want except 0 and π, because those are single phase. π/2 would be the least rare, though.

It depends upon whether it is true 2-phase, or whether it is two phases from three (or more?).

The only LARGE capacity two-phase electric systems exist in Germany, supplying the railways, . . and operating at 16.666 Hz.

The phase relationship there is 90 degrees.
