`A, B` and `C` are voltmeters of resistances `R, 1.5R` and `3R` respectively. When some potential difference is applied between `x` and `y` the voltmeter readings are `V_A, V`_B`and `V_C,` then

A

`V_(A) = V_(B) = V_(C)`

B

`V_(A) != V_(B) = V_(C)`

C

V_(A) = V_(B) != V_(C)`

D

V_(B) != V_(A) = V_(C)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`V_(B) = iR`,
`V_(B) = (2i)/(3) xx 1.5 R = iR`, `V_(C) = (i//3)(3R) = iR`
