Answer:
(4) 50 ohms (5) 11.76 ohms
Explanation:
In the parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :
[tex]\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+....[/tex]
4. When three 150 ohms resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent is given by :
[tex]\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{150}+\dfrac{1}{150}+\dfrac{1}{150}\\\\R=50\ \Omega[/tex]
5. Three resistors of 20 ohms, 40 ohms and 100 ohms are connected in parallel, So,
[tex]\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{40}+\dfrac{1}{100}\\\\=11.76\ \Omega[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
