Question
**Circuit with Series and Parallel Resistors**

For circuits with both series and parallel resistors, the supply voltage is given as \( V_{\text{Supply}} = 120 \) Volts. The resistor values are as follows:

- \( R_1 = 10 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 25 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 35 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_4 = 50 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_5 = 70 \, \Omega \)

**Objective:** Determine the total equivalent resistance of the circuit.

**Circuit Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a combination of resistors connected to a voltage supply \( V_a \). Here’s a closer look at the diagram configuration:

- \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) appear to be in series with each other.
- \( R_3 \) is parallel to some part of the circuit.
- \( R_4 \) appears to be in series with \( R_3 \).
- \( R_5 \) is parallel to the combination of \( R_3 \) and \( R_4 \).

**Question**: What will be the total resistor value?

**Options:**
- \( 50 \, \Omega \)
- \( 20 \, \Omega \)
- \( 100 \, \Omega \)
- \( 30 \, \Omega \)
