Correct Answer - Option 4 : 25

The correct answer is 25.

  • R1​ is cut into 5 pieces. Resistance if each piece =R1​/5​
  • When connected in parallel net resistance unit be R1/5/5​​
  • R2​=R1​/25​
  • Now, ​R−1/R2​= R1​​/R1/25 ​​=25
  • Hence, the answer is 25.

  • Given: A wire of resistance R1 is cut into five equal pieces.
  • Then each piece has a resistance of
  • Then each piece has a resistance of \(\dfrac{R1}{5}\)
  • And given that the resultant resistance of this combination be R2.
  • Then the parallel combination is given by
  •  \(\dfrac{1}{R2} = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{R1}{5}} + \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{R1}{5}}+ \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{R1}{5}} + \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{R1}{5}} + \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{R1}{5}}\)
  • \(\dfrac{1}{R2} = \dfrac{5}{R1} + \dfrac{5}{R1} + \dfrac{5}{R1} + \dfrac{5}{R1} + \dfrac{5}{R1} \)
  • \(\dfrac{1}{R2} = \dfrac{25}{R1}\)
  • \(\dfrac{R1}{R2}=25\)
