Z = R + jXc
= 12 + j5
= sqrt(12^2 + 5^2)
= sqrt144 + 25
= 13 ohm.

I agree with you @Dsce.

The answer is 13ohm.

It's parallel circuit connection that's why the equation for it,

Z = RXC / SQRT OF (R^2 + XC^2).

And for series connection as you calculated above method:

z = sqrt of r^2 + xc^2.

Thanks.

How it has 4.16? The correct answer is 13 ohm.

It's 4.615.

RXC/√xc^2+r^2.
You will get 4.615.

I also agree that the answer is 13 ohm.

Impedance Z in parallel RC circuit.
1/Z= √[(1/R^2)+(1/Xc)^2].
=°[(1/144)+(1/25)]=0 .21656.
Z=1/0.21656= 4.617ohm.

Impedance of parallel RC circuit is:

Z = R*Xc/(sqrt(R^2+Xc^2).
Plug in all values then you'll get 4.615384615 ~ 4.61
