Options:
  • A
    $\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{Q}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{S}_1+\mathrm{S}_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{Q}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{S}_1+\mathrm{S}_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{Q}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}\left(\mathrm{S}_1+\mathrm{S}_2\right)}{\mathrm{S}_1 \mathrm{~S}_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{Q}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}\left(\mathrm{S}_1+\mathrm{S}_2\right)}{2 \mathrm{~S}_1 \mathrm{~S}_2}$

The correct answer is:
$\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{Q}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}\left(\mathrm{S}_1+\mathrm{S}_2\right)}{\mathrm{S}_1 \mathrm{~S}_2}$
$\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{Q}}=\frac{\mathrm{R}\left(\mathrm{S}_1+\mathrm{S}_2\right)}{\mathrm{S}_1 \mathrm{~S}_2}$
