Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

What will be the most suitable combination of three resistors A = 2$\Omega$, B = 4$\Omega$, C = 6$\Omega$ so that $\left( {{{22} \over 3}} \right)$$\Omega$ is equivalent resistance of combination?

  1. A Parallel combination of A and C connected in series with B.
  2. B Parallel combination of A and B connected in series with C. Correct answer
  3. C Series combination of A and C connected in parallel with B.
  4. D Series combination of B and C connected in parallel with A.

Solution

<p>${R_{eq}} = {{2 \times 4} \over {2 + 6}} + 6 = {{22} \over 3}$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow$ A and B are in parallel and C is in series.</p>
