Options:
  • A $R_1 R_2 R_5=R_3 R_4 R_6$
  • B $\frac{1}{R_5}+\frac{1}{R_6}=\frac{1}{R_1+R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3+R_4}$
  • C $R_1 R_4=R_2 R_3$
  • D $R_1 R_3=R_2 R_4$

The correct answer is: $R_1 R_4=R_2 R_3$
If resistance $R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4$ and $R_6$ from Wheatstone bridge, then current will independent of resistance $R_6$.

For this, $\frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{R_3}{R_4} \Rightarrow R_1 R_4=R_2 R_3$
