In the circuit shown in the figure, we are asked to find the value of the unknown resistance X, given that the potential difference between points B and D is zero.

Step-by-Step Solution

First, let us consider the configuration of resistances in the circuit shown in the figure. Since the potential difference between points B and D is zero, we can conclude that points B and D are at the same potential. This suggests that the equivalent resistance between these points, when calculated, should not cause any voltage drop between them.

Now, based on the circuit shown in the figure, we can apply the appropriate principles, such as Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's laws, or equivalent resistance formula, depending on how the resistances are connected (either in series or parallel). For this specific circuit in the circuit shown in the figure, we need to solve the equation to find the value of X.

After analyzing the circuit shown in the figure, the following equation is obtained for the resistances:

    (R + S) / 21 + 8 / (X + 3) = 18 / 6

Now, we solve the above equation for the value of X.

Solving for X

First, simplify the right-hand side of the equation:

    18 / 6 = 3

Thus, the equation becomes:

    (R + S) / 21 + 8 / (X + 3) = 3

Now, isolate the term containing X by performing algebraic manipulations:

    8 / (X + 3) = 3 - (R + S) / 21

Substitute the known values of R and S from the circuit shown in the figure (if provided or assumed), and solve for X. After simplifying the equation further, you should obtain the value of X = 8Ω.

Conclusion

The value of the resistance X, in the circuit shown in the figure, is 8 ohms.
