Two resistors 3 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two resistors 3 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is
A. 2 Ω
B. 9 Ω
C. 3 Ω
D. 1 Ω
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
For parallel: 1/R = 1/3 + 1/6 = (2+1)/6 = 3/6 = 1/2 => R = 2 Ω. Product/sum rule for two: (3×6)/(3+6)=18/9=2 Ω. Always less than smallest resistance.

Echo minimum distance for distinct hearing (speed sound = 340 m/s, persistence = 0.1 s):
A. 8.5 m
B. 34 m
C. 17 m
D. 68 m

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Time for to-and-fro: t = 2d/v ≥ 0.1 s ⇒ d ≥ vt/2 = 340×0.1/2 = 17 m. Minimum distance for brain to distinguish echo from original sound. Memory tip: 'd_min = v×persistence/2'. Application of sound reflection with human perception limit, common in competitive exam numericals.
