Rs=470+680=1150
Rp=8000
Req=1150*8000/1150+8000=778
Rp=8000
Req=1150*8000/1150+8000=778

R1 (1st parallel comb. of 470 & 680)=333.33
R2 (2nd parallel comb. of 4 nos. of 2000) =.002
Total R (series comb. of R1 & R2) = 333.332 OHMS
Please check this with answer.
R2 (2nd parallel comb. of 4 nos. of 2000) =.002

First parallel combination of a 470 ohm resistor and a 680 ohm resistor = 277.91 ohm (w.r.t (r1*r2)/(r1+r2))
Second parallel combination of four 2 k ohm resistors = 0.5 K ohm = 500 ohm
Both first and second parallel combinations are in series to each other hence total resistance will be:
277.91 ohm + 500 ohm = 777.91 ohm i.e. 778 ohm
Second parallel combination of four 2 k ohm resistors = 0.5 K ohm = 500 ohm
Both first and second parallel combinations are in series to each other hence total resistance will be:
277.91 ohm + 500 ohm = 777.91 ohm i.e. 778 ohm

How second parallel combination is 500 ?
Please explain.
Please explain.

4 nos of 2k ohms are parallel that's why
2*2/4=1 and 2*2/4=1
So
1*1/2=0.5k ohms=500 ohms
Ok I hope you can understand my dear jiban.
2*2/4=1 and 2*2/4=1
So
1*1/2=0.5k ohms=500 ohms
Ok I hope you can understand my dear jiban.

= Parallel + series + parallel.
= (470*680/470+680)+(2000/1+1+1+1).
= 778 answer.
= (470*680/470+680)+(2000/1+1+1+1).
= 778 answer.

1st parallel combination = (470 * 680/470 + 680) = 277.91,
2nd parallel combination,
Step1: (R1 * R2/R1 + R2) = 1,
Step2: (1 * R3/1 + R3) = 0.666,
Step3: (0.666 * 2/0.666 + 2) = 0.500 k ohm = 500 ohm,
Req = 277.91 + 500 = 777.91.
2nd parallel combination,
Step1: (R1 * R2/R1 + R2) = 1,
Step2: (1 * R3/1 + R3) = 0.666,
Step3: (0.666 * 2/0.666 + 2) = 0.500 k ohm = 500 ohm,
Req = 277.91 + 500 = 777.91.

Please anyone give more explanation for the second step.

Second parallel combination is very simple, if the number of resistors are connected of same value then the simple formula is there resistance value/ number of resistors.
From above problem, it has four, 2K ohm resistors connected in parallel then= 2000/4= 500 ohm.
