Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In case of balanced Wheatstone Bridge

\(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{AB}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{AD}}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{BC}}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{CD}}} \Rightarrow \frac{12}{6+\mathrm{x}}=\frac{0.5}{0.5}\)

\(\mathrm{x}=6 \Omega\)
