C$2 R$
c (c) Let equivalent resistance between $A$ and $B$ is $R'$, so given circuit can be reduced as follows
$R' = R + \frac{{2R \times R'}}{{(2R + R')}} \Rightarrow {R'^2} - RR' - 2{R^2} = 0$
On solving the equation we get $R' = 2R$.

In India electricity is supplied for domestic use at $220 \,V$. It is supplied at $110 \,V$ in USA. If the resistance of a $60 \,W$ bulb for use in India is $R$, the resistance of a $60 \,W$ bulb for use in USA will be
Two electric bulbs rated ${P_1}\,watt$ $V\, volts$ and ${P_2}\, watt$ $V\, volts$ are connected in parallel and $V\, volts$ are applied to it. The total power will be
When a current of $2\, A$ flows in a battery from negative to positive terminal, the potential difference across it is $12\, V$. If a current of $3 \,A$ flows in the opposite direction potential difference across the terminals of the battery is $15\, V$, the $emf$ of the battery is ................ $\mathrm{V}$
