Gn:Rt=8
also r1||r2;nd r1=2r2 =>r1/2=r2
=>(r1*r1/2)/(r1+r1/2)=8
=>r1=24
r2=r1/2 =>r2=12

I agree with mamatha

Mamatha said:   1 decade ago
Let R1 be x, so R2 is 2x
8=(x*2x)/(x+2x)

So x is 12
Hence R1 is 12 and R2 is 24

I am Not agree that
Correct answer is
if R1,R2-16Ohms so that only RT =8Ohms

So Given option is wrong

Pls clarify...

Effective Resistance=8
therefore R1||R2=12||24=8ohms
so D is the right option
