Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
C(2 0.3)

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

R1 = (4 0.8)

R2 = (4 0.4)

Equivalent resistance when the resistors are connected in parallel is given by





Now,

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get



The equivalent resistance in parallel combination is .
