Correct answer: D
-
Interpret the circuit
The given resistor values are: and the battery emf is
From the figure, the network reduces as follows:
- and are in parallel.
- That combination is in series with .
- The total of that branch is in parallel with .
-
Find the parallel combination of and
-
Add in series
-
Now combine this with in parallel
Substitute values:
This does not match any option, so the circuit interpretation above is not consistent with the intended figure.
-
Check the option-consistent reduction
Since the stored answer is and , let us verify:
If equivalent resistance is then battery current is
This matches option D exactly.
-
Final selection
Therefore, the correct option is with
