Two resistances are joined in parallel whose resultant 6/5 ohm. One of the resistance wire is broken and the effective resistance becomes 2 ohm. Then the Resistance in ohm of the wire that got broken was

a
3/5
b
2
c
6/5
d
3

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Let the resistance of broken wire be R1The other resistance is 2 Ω. The resistance of parallel combination is 6/5.1R=1R1+1R256=1R1+12  or  56−12=1R1or 13=1R1  or  R1=3Ω
