    Find out the equivalent resistance between A  and B in the network of resistances shown in adjoining figure

    A)  \[25\,\Omega \]

    B)  \[10\,\Omega \]

    C) \[5\,\Omega \]                 

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Here \[4\,\Omega \] and \[12\,\Omega \]are in parallel. \[\therefore \] \[\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{12}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[R=\frac{4\times 12}{4+12}=3\Omega \] Similarly, \[6\,\Omega \]and \[3\,\Omega \]are in parallel. \[\therefore \] \[\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[R=\frac{6\times 3}{6+3}=2\,\Omega \] R and \[R\] are in series. \[\therefore \]Equivalent resistance between A and B \[={{R}^{}}=R+R=3+2=5\,\Omega \]
