The given circuit can be redrawn as <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/p-ibwgumosmbth.png" /> ∴ RA B=(8/3)Ω

Q. Eight resistances each of resistance $5 Ω$ are connected in the circuit as shown in the figure. The equivalent resistance between $A$ and $B$ is

$\frac{8}{3} Ω$

$\frac{16}{3} Ω$

$\frac{15}{7} Ω$

$\frac{19}{2} Ω$

The given circuit can be redrawn as

$∴ R_{A B} = \frac{8}{3} Ω$
