Question

A 20 k-ohm resistor is connected in series with a 40 k-ohm resistor. What resistance R must be connected in PARALLEL with their equivalent resistance to give 20 k-ohm?
Options
A 120 k-ohm
B 30 k-ohm
Correct Answer
C 10 k-ohm
D 20 k-ohm
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Series pair = 60k. Need 60||R = 20k => R = 30 k-ohm.

Hint

Series pair = 60k.
