What will be the equivalent resistance of the following circuit?

Options

A. `10 Omega`
B. `5 Omega`
C. `2.5 Omega`
D. `1 Omega`

Answer

C

Explanation

The resistance of the upper arm of the circuit is 2 + 3 = `5 Omega`.
Now, the upper arm and lower arm are connected in parallel to each other. So, the equivalent resistance of the circuit `R= (5 xx 5)/(5 +5) =2.5 Omega`
