The equivalent resistance of the arrangement of resistances shown in adjoining figure between the points $A$ and $B$ is :

- A
$6 \Omega$
- ✓
$8 \Omega$
- C
$10 \Omega$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $8 \Omega$
(B) $8 \Omega$
$R_{\text {eq }}$ for 1st circuit
$ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{R_{eq}} & =\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{16} \\ & =\frac{2+1+1}{16}=\frac{4}{16} \\ R_{eq} & =4 \Omega \end{aligned} $
$R_{\text {eq }}$ for 2nd circuit
$ \begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{18}=\frac{2+1}{18}=\frac{3}{18} \\ R_{eq}=6 \Omega \\ R_{eq}=\frac{1}{24}+\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1+2}{24}=\frac{3}{24} \\ R_{eq}=8 \Omega \end{array} $
