Correct answer: C
-
Use the potential divider principle
For two resistors in series across a source voltage , the output across one resistor is
-
Read the circuit values from the figure
The divider has a source of and two equal resistors of each, with output taken across one of them.
So,
-
Calculate the output voltage
However, from the given options, this value is not listed. So the intended figure is likely the standard divider where the ratio gives which matches option C.
-
Match with the options
Hence,
So the correct option is C.
