Question
A circuit has a resistance of 200Ω. The resistance of the circuit can be reduced to 120Ω whenOptions
A)
A 300Ω resistor is connected to it in parallel
B)
An 80Ω resistor is conneceted to it in series
C)
A 150Ω resistor is connected to it in parallel
D)
A 240Ω resistor is connected to it in series

The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
For parallel resistance,
\(\frac{300 \times 200}{500}\)
\(= 120 \Omega \)
Therefore it is when a 300Ω resistor is connected to it in parallel
