When two resistors of resistances \(R_1=(200 \pm 2) \Omega\) and \(R_2=(400 \pm 4) \Omega\) are connected in series, then the equivalent resistance of the combination is

  1. A \((800 \pm 7) \Omega\)
  2. B \((600 \pm 2) \Omega\)
  3. C \((600 \pm 6) \Omega\)
  4. D \((200 \pm 2) \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((600 \pm 6) \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(R_1=(200 \pm 2) \Omega\) \(R_2=(400 \pm 4) \Omega\) \(\begin{aligned} & \text {Resistance in series, } R_s=R_1+R_2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad=(200 \pm 2)+(400 \pm 4) \Omega \\ & \Rightarrow \quad R_s=(600 \pm 6) \Omega \end{aligned}\)
