Q.

Six identical resistors are connected as shown in the figure. The equivalent resistance will be:               [2004]

1 Maximum between P and R  
2 Maximum between Q and R  
3 Maximum between P and Q  
4 All are equal  

Ans.

(3)

Given resistance of each resistor R

RPQ=511R,    RQR=411R,    RPR=311R

  RPQ is maximum.
