उत्तर
When connected in series, R = R1 + R1 + R2 (two are equal)
R = 2R1 + R2
∴ 2R1 + R2 = 30 ....(R = 30 Ω)
∴ 2R1 = 30 - R2
∴ R1 = `(30 - "R")/2` .....(i)
When connected in parallel,
`1/"R" = 1/"R"_1 + 1/"R"_1 + 1/"R"_2`
Or `1/"R" = 1/((30 - "R"_2)/2) + 1/((30 - "R"_2)/2) + 1/"R"_2` ....(From equation (i))
∴ `1/"R" = 2/(30 - "R"_2) + 2/(30 - "R"_2) + 1/"R"_2`
`1/3 = 4/(30 - "R"_2) + 1/"R"_2` ...(as R = 3Ω)
∴ `1/3 = (4"R"_2 + 30 - "R"_2)/("R"_2
(30 - "R"_2)) = (3"R"_2 + 30)/("R"_2(30 - "R"_2))`
∴ R2 `(30 - "R"_2)/3 = 9 "R"_2 + 90`
`30"R"_2 - "R"_2^2 = 9"R"_2 + 90`
`"R"_2^2 - 21 "R"_2 + 90 = 0`
∴ R2 - 6R2 - 15R2 + 90 = 0
∴ R2 = 6 or 15
∴ R1 = `(30 - 6)/2` or `(30 - 15)/2`
R1 = 12 Ω or 7.5 Ω
The three resistances can have values 12 Ω, 12 Ω and 6 Ω or 15 Ω, 7.5 Ω and 7.5 Ω.
