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?
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.
