Question
**Problem:**

In the given electrical circuit, the supply voltage \( V_{\text{supply}} = 240 \) Volts. The resistances are as follows: \( R_1 = 20 \, \Omega \), \( R_2 = 30 \, \Omega \), \( R_3 = 8 \, \Omega \), \( R_4 = 30 \, \Omega \), and \( R_5 = 60 \, \Omega \). Determine the voltage across resistor \( R_3 \).

**Circuit Diagram:**

The circuit is composed of resistors arranged with a combination of series and parallel configurations. The supply voltage \( V_{\text{supply}} \) is connected in series with the network containing the five resistors.

- \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) are in series with each other, and they form a parallel network with \( R_3 \).
- This parallel network is then in series with the combination of resistors \( R_4 \) and \( R_5 \), which are also in series with each other.

**Answer Options:**

- \( 72 \) Volts
- \( 120 \) Volts
- \( 24 \) Volts
- \( 48 \) Volts

Determine the correct voltage value from the options provided for the voltage across \( R_3 \).
