Correct answer: 100

  1. Maximum equivalent resistance

To get the maximum resistance using all 10 resistors of 10 Ω10\,\Omega10Ω each, we connect them all in series.

Rmax⁡=10+10+⋯+10(10 times)R_{\max} = 10 + 10 + \cdots + 10 \quad (10\text{ times})Rmax​=10+10+⋯+10(10 times)

Rmax⁡=10×10=100 ΩR_{\max} = 10 \times 10 = 100\,\OmegaRmax​=10×10=100Ω

  1. Minimum equivalent resistance

To get the minimum resistance using all 10 resistors, we connect them all in parallel.

For 10 identical resistors of resistance 10 Ω10\,\Omega10Ω in parallel,

Rmin⁡=1010=1 ΩR_{\min} = \frac{10}{10} = 1\,\OmegaRmin​=1010​=1Ω

  1. Required ratio

Rmax⁡Rmin⁡=1001=100\frac{R_{\max}}{R_{\min}} = \frac{100}{1} = 100Rmin​Rmax​​=1100​=100

Hence, the required ratio is:

100\boxed{100}100​
