Two resistors $\mathrm{R}_{1}=(4 \pm 0.8) \Omega$ and $\mathrm{R}_{2}=(4 \pm 0.4)$ $\Omega$ are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of their parallel combination will be:
Correct Option: , 3
$\frac{1}{R_{\text {cq }}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=2 \Omega$
Also $\frac{\Delta \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}^{2}}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{R}_{1}}{\mathrm{R}_{1}^{2}}+\frac{\Delta \mathrm{R}_{2}}{\mathrm{R}_{2}^{2}}$
$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}}{4}=\frac{.8}{16}+\frac{.4}{16}=\frac{1.2}{16}$
$\underline{\underline{\Delta}} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=0.3 \Omega$
$\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=(2 \pm 0.3) \Omega$
Option (3)
