Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(R_{1}+G\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Rightarrow 1=i_{g}\left(G+R_{1}\right) \quad \ldots(1)\)

\(\Rightarrow 2= i _{ g }\left( R _{1}+ R _{2}+ G \right)\)\(...(2)\)

\((1)/(2)\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{G+R_{1}}{G+R_{1}+R_{2}}\)

\(G + R _{1}+ R _{2}=2 G +2 h _{1}\)

\(\left( R _{2}= G + R _{1}\right)\)
