Question

In the figure, the equivalent resistance between points $x$ and $y$ is:

• A. $5\Omega$
• B. $\frac{10}{3}\Omega$
• C. $4\Omega$
• D. $\frac{8}{3}\Omega$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $5\Omega$

Converting the given figure into its equivalent circuit, we get the equivalent resistance as shown in figure.
$R_{eq}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{8}{3}+2$
$R_{eq}=\frac{9}{3}+2=3+2$
$R_{eq}=5\Omega$
