When two resistors of 25 and 15 ohms are connected in series and then connected in parallel with a resistor of 40 ohms, the combined effective resistance is: a) 0.1 Ω b) 10 Ω c) 20 Ω d) 40 Ω

Answer:

c) 20 is the correct answer.

The overall resistance acquired is equivalent to 20 since the resulting resistance generated from the resistors that are connected in series is connected with 40 in parallel.
