How 200 ohms resistors should be connected to obtain an effective resistance of 300 ohms

How 200 ohms resistors should be connected to obtain an effective resistance of 300 ohms:

  1. 2 in series while 3rd in parallel to that series connection
  2. 2 in parallel while 3rd in series to that parallel connection
  3. Three resistors in series
  4. Three resistors in parallel

Correct answer: 2. 2 in parallel while 3 in series to that parallel connection

    Correct me if I’m wrong , but the picture diagram isn’t a correct depiction of 2 -200 ohm resisters in parallel in series with a 3rd . I believe your picture is 2- 200 ohm resisters in parallel with 1-200 ohm resister .

      Sorry, that was a mistake. Corrected now.
