    The equivalent resistance of two resistors connected in series is \[6\Omega \] and their parallel equivalent resistance is\[\frac{4}{3}\Omega \]. What are the values of resistances?

    A)  \[4\Omega ,\,2\Omega \]      

    B)  \[4\Omega ,\,6\Omega \]

    C)  \[6\Omega ,\,2\Omega \]      

    D)  \[8\Omega ,\,1\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : Let \[{{R}_{1}}\] and \[{{R}_{2}}\] be two resistors. When they are connected in series, their equivalent resistance is \[{{R}_{s}}={{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}=6\Omega \]                   ...(i) When they are connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is \[{{R}_{p}}=\frac{{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}}{{{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{4}{3}\Omega \]              ?..(ii) On solving eqns. (i) and (ii), we get \[{{R}_{1}}=2\Omega \]  and \[{{R}_{2}}=4\Omega \]
