  1. A red, grey, brown, silver
  2. B red, green, brown, silver
  3. C red, grey, silver, silver
  4. D red, black, brown, silver
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) red, black, brown, silver

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resistance of carbon resistor,
\(\begin{aligned}
R &=0.2 \mathrm{k} \Omega \pm 10 \% \\
&=200 \Omega \pm 10 \% \\
&=20 \times 10^{1} \Omega \pm 10 \%
\end{aligned}\)
According to the colour code for carbon resistor, the colour assigned to number 2,0 and 1 are red, black and brown. For colour used for tolerance of \(10 \%\) is silver.
\(\therefore\) Colour code are red, black, brown and silver.
