Question

The schematic provided has all resistors with a resistance of three ohms, and the battery voltage is 48 volts. All ammeters are ideal. Statement-1: Readings of all ammeters is same. Statement-2: Reading of ammeter 1 is 5A. Statement-3: Reading of ammeter 2 is 7A. Statement-4: Reading of ammeter 3 is 7A.

• A. All statements are correct.
• B. Only statement-1 is correct.
• C. Statement-1 & statement-4 are correct.
• D. Statement-2 & statement-3 are correct.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Statement-2 & statement-3 are correct.

Answer 2

Due to the complexity of the circuit and potential inconsistencies in the provided statements, a definitive step-by-step derivation is not possible. Assuming the provided answer (D) is correct, we accept that Statement-2 (Ammeter 1 reads 5A) and Statement-3 (Ammeter 2 reads 7A) are correct, despite the difficulty in verifying these values through standard circuit analysis techniques. The circuit likely involves a specific configuration or symmetry that is not immediately apparent, and the correct solution may rely on advanced circuit analysis methods or approximations.
