Answer 1

Explanation:

In the parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+....$

4. When three 150 ohms resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{150}+\dfrac{1}{150}+\dfrac{1}{150}\\\\R=50\ \Omega$

5. Three resistors of 20 ohms, 40 ohms and 100 ohms are connected in parallel, So,

$\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{40}+\dfrac{1}{100}\\\\=11.76\ \Omega$

Hence, this is the required solution.
