You have to replace 1500 ohms resistor in radio. You have no 1500 Ω resistor but have several 1000 Ω ones which you would connect

You have to replace 1500 ohms resistor in radio. You have no 1500 Ω resistor but have several 1000 Ω ones which you would connect

  1. Three in parallel
  2. Three in series
  3. Two in parallel
  4. Two in parallel and one in series

Correct answer: 4. Two in parallel and one in series

Solution: Req = (1000 || 1000) + 1000 = 500 + 1000 = 1500 ohms

  1. AC
  2. DC
  3. Any of above
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 2. DC
