Five resistances are joined as shown in ...

Five resistances are joined as shown in the figure.

The equivalent resistance between the points X and Y is

A

`10 Omega`

B

`15 Omega`

C

`20 Omega`

D

`30 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
This is a balanced wheatstone network.
Resistance of `20 Omega and 60 Omega` are in parallel.
`therefore (1)/(60)+(1)/(20)=(4)/(60)=(1)/(15) therefore R_(P)=15 Omega`
