Suppose you are given three resistances of values 2,4,6 ohms. Which of the following value is not possible to get by arranging resistances in various combinations =>>>>
(a) Less than 2 ohms
(b) Equal to 4.4 ohms
(c) Equal to 7.33 ohms
(d) Equal to 6.75 ohms
Dear Student
Three 2,4,6 ohm resistance can be connected either in series or in parallel or and parallel.
If they are connected in series then Rnet = 2+4+6 = 12 ohm
If they are connected in parallel then 1/Rnet = 1/2+1/4+1/6 = 3/4 ohm
Rnet =1.09 ohm
If two are connected in series (2 and 4 )and combination is connected in parallel with other then 1/Rnet = 1/6+1/6
Rnet =3 ohm
If two are connected in series ( 2 and 6 ohm) and combination is connected in parallel with other then 1/Rnet = 1/8+1/4
Rnet =2.66 ohm
If two are connected in series (4 and 6 )and combination is connected in parallel with other then 1/Rnet = 1/10+1/2
Rnet =1.66 ohm
If two are connected in parallel (2 and 4) and combination is connected in series with other then Rnet = 1.33+6= 7.33ohm
If two are connected in parallel (2 and 6) and combination is connected in series with other then Rnet = 1.5+4=5.5 ohm
If two are connected in parallel (6 and 4) and combination is connected in series with other then Rnet = 2.4+2= 4.4 ohm
So option D is right.
