A) \[100\,\Omega \]
B) \[180\,\Omega \]
C) \[220\,\Omega \]
D) \[440\,\Omega \]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Here: Resistance of arm\[PQ({{R}_{1}})=100\,\Omega \] Resistance of arm\[PQ({{R}_{2}})=100\,\Omega \] Resistance of arm \[RS({{R}_{3}})=100\,\Omega \] Resistance of arm\[SP({{R}_{4}})=100\,\Omega \] Resistance of upper arm \[{{R}_{1}}\] and \[{{R}_{2}}\] are connected in series. Hence, their resultant resistance Similarly the resistance of lower half\[{{R}_{3}}\] and\[{{R}_{4}}\] are also connected in series. Hence, their resultant resistance is \[{{R}_{L}}={{R}_{3}}+{{R}_{4}}=100+100=200\,\Omega \] So, equivalent resistance \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{PR}}}=\frac{1}{{{R}_{U}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{L}}}\] \[=\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{200}=\frac{2}{200}=\frac{1}{100}\] So, \[{{R}_{PR}}=100\,\Omega \]
