    The colour sequence in a carbon resistor is red, brown, orange and silver. The resistance of the resistor is

    A)  \[21\times {{10}^{3}}\pm \,10%\]

    B)  \[23\times {{10}^{1}}\pm \,10%\]

    C)  \[21\times {{10}^{3}}\pm \,10%\]           

    D)  \[12\times {{10}^{3}}\pm \,5%\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Of the colours red, brown, orange and silver, red and brown represent the first two significant figures, orange is written in the form of multiplier of 10 and silver colour shows the tolerance.
    Significant figures Multiplier Tolerance
    Red 2 Brown 1 Orange \[{{10}^{3}}\] Silver \[\pm 10%\]
    Hence, the resistance of the given resistor \[\therefore \]  \[R=21\times {{10}^{3}}\pm 10%\]
