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.

The gas A is used by most of the animals to obtain energy from food by the process of respiration. When A is acted upon by radiation X, it gets converted into another gas B which is an allotrope of A but poisonous when inhaled. B forms a kind of layer C in the upper atmosphere which absorbs radiations X coming from a source Y and prevent them from reaching the earth. Some chemicals Z released from the various devices on the earth are destroying the layer C slowly. In fact, a hole has already been formed in layer C over the area D of the earth.
