    Equivalent resistance of the given circuit is

    A)  R                                           

    B)  R/2

    C)  R/4                       

    D)         R/6

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In the given circuit,                 \[\frac{R}{R}=\frac{R}{R}\]                                           \[\left( \frac{P}{Q}=\frac{R}{S} \right)\] Therefore, it is a balanced Wheatstone bridge, and no current will flow through resistance between \[B\] and\[D\]. Resistance of arm\[ABC\]                 \[R=R+R=2R\] Resistance of arm\[ADC\],                 \[R\,\,=R+R=2R\] \[\therefore \]Now, resistance R and R are in parallel. Therefore, their resultant resistance \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{eq}}}=\frac{1}{2R}+\frac{1}{2R}=\frac{1}{R}\]     \[\therefore \]\[{{R}_{eq}}=R\]
