Questions  

Two resistances are joined in parallel whose resultant is 68ohm. One of the resistance wires is broken and the effective resistance becomes 2Ω 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 C

If resistances are R1 and R2 then R1R2R1+R2 = 68         …..(i)Suppose R2 is broken then R1 = 2 Ω                            …..(ii)On solving equations (i) and (ii), we get R2 = 6/5 Ω
