Question

48 cells each of internal resistance 1Ω are arranged in a mixed combination and the combination is connected across a resistor of resistance 3Ω. Number of cells in each row is n and number of rows is m if maximum current flows through the 3Ω resistor, then 

Difficult
Solution

mn=N....(1) and for maximum current, mR=Nr ......(2)

From (1) and (2), m=NrR=48×13=4andn=484=12
