A 6 V battery output is divided down to obtain two output voltages. Three 2.2 k resistors are used to provide the two taps. The two output voltages are
2 V, 4 V
2 V, 2 V
2 V, 6 V
4 V, 6 V
Answer: Option

This question is just like the working of a Simple Rheostat.

For example our battery is being converted into 2-steps of voltages by taking the connection points (or simply taps). As given below;

Step-1: Take the conncection or tap just after the first resistance>>
So Vout=6 * 2.2k/(3*2.2)k= 2V.
Step-2: Take the tap just after 2 resistors i.e.
vout=6* (2.2k+2.2k)/(3*2.2)k= 4 V.
So sol is 2, 4 V.

@Majid.

How come 3? Please explain that.
