The correct answer is: 27 kΩ, 10%

Colour band A and B indicate the first two significant figures of resistance in "ohm" , while the C band gives the decimal multiplier i.e., the number of zeros that follows the two significant figures A and B.

The last band D indicates the tolerance in percentage about the indicate value or in another ward it represents the percentage accuracy of the indicated value.
