Question

If you are provided a set of resistances $2 \,\Omega, 4 \,\Omega$, $6 \,\Omega$ and $8 \,\Omega$. Connect these resistances so as to obtain an equivalent resistance of $\frac{46}{3} \,\Omega$.

• A. $4 \,\Omega$ and $6\, \Omega$ are in parallel with $2\, \Omega$ and $8\, \Omega$ in series
• B. $6 \,\Omega$ and $8 \,\Omega$ are in parallel with $2\, \Omega$ and $4 \,\Omega$ in series
• C. $2 \,\Omega$ and $6\, \Omega$ are in parallel with $4\, \Omega$ and $8\, \Omega$ in series
• D. $2 \,\Omega$ and $4\, \Omega$ are in parallel with $6\, \Omega$ and $8 \,\Omega$ in series

Answer 1
