    In the given circuit, it is observed that the current I is independent of the value of the resistance R6. Then the resistance values must satisfy                                    [IIT-JEE (Screening) 2001]

    A)            \[{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}{{R}_{5}}={{R}_{3}}{{R}_{4}}{{R}_{6}}\]

    B)            \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{5}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{6}}}\]\[=\frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{3}}+{{R}_{4}}}\]

    C)            \[{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{4}}={{R}_{2}}{{R}_{3}}\]                     

    D)            \[{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{3}}={{R}_{2}}{{R}_{4}}={{R}_{5}}{{R}_{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               As I is independent of \[{{R}_{6}},\] no current flows through \[{{R}_{6}}\] this requires that the junction of \[{{R}_{1}}\] and \[{{R}_{2}}\] is at the same potential as the junction of \[{{R}_{3}}\] and \[{{R}_{4}}\]. This must satisfy the condition \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{{{R}_{3}}}{{{R}_{4}}},\] as in the Wheatstone bridge.
