The correct answer is:
Given reading of an ideal voltmeter for resistance is , then current (let )is given branch (as resistance in series with resistance ) is
Then for resistance , the potential difference will be
So, for given branch of resistance potential difference is
From figure for resistance and a total applied potential difference is then,
So, the total current drawn from the source is
Current through
and potential difference for is
( is in parallel arrangement with the resistances and )
Now the value of resistance is :
