Question
What is the resistance between A and B in the figure given below?

Answer

The three resistance of 20 ohm, 10 ohm and 20 ohm on the extreme right side are in series.
So, the resultant of these three resistance = 20 + 20 + 10 = 50 ohms.
This 50 ohms is in parallel with 30 ohms. so resultant of these two will be
$\frac{1}{\text{R}}=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{50}$
$\frac{1}{\text{R}}=\frac{80}{1500}$
R = 18.75 ohms
Now, the resistance 10 ohms, 18.75 ohms and 10 ohms are in series.
Therefore, resultant resistance = 18.75 + 10 + 10 = 38.75 ohms.
