Question
**Problem Statement:**

For circuits in series and parallel, the supply voltage \(V_{\text{Supply}} = 240\) Volts. The resistor values are as follows:
- \(R_1 = 20 \, \Omega\)
- \(R_2 = 30 \, \Omega\)
- \(R_3 = 8 \, \Omega\)
- \(R_4 = 30 \, \Omega\)
- \(R_5 = 60 \, \Omega\)

What will be the total resistance value?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates a circuit with a combination of series and parallel resistors:

- \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) are in parallel at the top part of the circuit.
- \(R_3\) is in series with the parallel combination of \(R_4\) and \(R_5\).
- \(R_4\) and \(R_5\) are in parallel at the bottom of the circuit.

**Answer Choices:**

- \(40 \, \Omega\)
- \(20 \, \Omega\)
- \(100 \, \Omega\)
- \(60 \, \Omega\)

**Solution Explanation:**

To find the total resistance:

1. Calculate the equivalent resistance of \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) in parallel:
   \[
   \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel1}}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}
   = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{12} \implies R_{\text{parallel1}} = 12 \, \Omega
   \]

2. Calculate the equivalent resistance of \(R_4\) and \(R_5\) in parallel:
   \[
   \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel2}}} = \frac{1}{R_4} + \frac{1}{R_5}
   = \frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{20} \implies R_{\text{parallel2}} = 20 \, \Omega
   \]

3. Add \(R_3\) in series with the equivalent resistances from step 1 and step 2
