R1=1.2,R2=1.2 they are connected in series and R3=3.3 connected in parallel with R1&R2.
R1+R2=2.4K ohm
R2parallel (R1+R2)
Formula for parallel=(R1+R2)R3/(R1+R2)+R3
=2.4*3.3/2.4+3.3
=1.38947 K ohm
=1.38947*1000=1389.47 ohms

1.2+1.2 = 2.4K.

(2.4*3.3)/(2.4+3.3) = 1.38947K.

1.38947/1000 = 1.389kohm.

Two resistors are in series.
1.2K ohm and 1.2K ohm.
Total Resistance in Series r=R1+R2=>1.2K ohm+1.2K ohm=2.4K ohm.

Then that is parrallel with 3.3K ohm.

Total resistance in Parallel=1/R=1/r+1/R3.

1/R=(1/2.4K ohm)+(1/3.3K ohm)=>R=1389.47 ohm.

Two resistors of value 1.2k ohm each in series can be added up. connected in parallel with 3.3.k ohm.

((2.4*3.3)/(2.4+3.3))*1000 = 1389.47 for k

Two resistors of value 2.4k ohms

i.e 1.2+1.2=2.4k ohms

Therefore R1=2.4k ohms. This R1 is connected parallel with 3.3k ohms.
we asume 3.3k ohms=R2

The parallel formula is=(R1*R2)/(R1+R2)
=2.4*3.3/(2.4+3.3)
=7.92/5.7
=1.38947k ohms

To convert the killo ohms into ohms by multipication 1000

Therefore;

=1.38947*1000
=1389.47 ohms

Nice explaination Deepika & Madhu metha

2 resistors in series formula is = R1+R2
so 1.2+1.2 = 2.4k ohm
nw it parellel wid 3.3k ohm
parellel formula is R1*R2/R1+R2
so 2.4+3.3/2.4+3.3=1.389k ohms
=1389 ohms
