    A ring is made of a wire having a resistance \[{{R}_{0}}=12\,\Omega \]. Find the points A and B, as shown in the figure, at which a current carrying conductor should be connected so that the resistance R of the sub circuit between these points is equal to \[8/3\,\,\Omega \]

    A) \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{5}{8}\]

    B)        \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{3}\]

    C)        \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{3}{8}\]

    D)        \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    We knows\[R\propto l\] Here,    \[{{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}=12\,\Omega \] and  \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}\times {{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{8}{3}\Omega \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}=32\,\Omega \] We get, \[{{R}_{1}}=8\] and \[{{R}_{2}}=4\] Again, \[{{R}_{1}}=\frac{12{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}}\]and\[{{R}_{2}}=\frac{12{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}}\] Hence,       \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\]
