AIPMT PRELIMS 2012 Physics Resistance in Circuits MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
A ring is made of a wire having a resistance R₀ = 12 Ω. Find the points A and B, as shown in the figure, at which a current carrying conductor should be connected so that the resistance R of the sub circuit between these points is equal to 8/3 Ω.

A
l₁/l₂ = 1/2
B
l₁/l₂ = 5/8
C
l₁/l₂ = 1/3
D
l₁/l₂ = 3/8
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Using the formula for parallel resistances and the given condition, solving the equations gives l₁/l₂ = 1/2.
