Question:

In the given figure if points B and D are at same potential then the value of x is:

Options:

$2 \Omega$

$3 \Omega$

$4 \Omega$

$6 \Omega$

Correct Answer:

$3 \Omega$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $3 \Omega$

Using wheatstone bridge,

$\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{R_1'}{R_2'}$

$∴\frac{\frac{6x}{x+6}}{5}=\frac{6}{15}$

$\frac{6x}{x+6}=2$

$⇒6x=2x+12$

$⇒x=3Ω$
