Four resistors with resistance R1= 2N, R2=3N, R3=6 2, R4 =7 N are available and ready to be used. The mathematician chooses two resistors and connect it in a way that it yield a net resistance of 9 N. He returned the resistors and let the physicist take his turn. Without any knowledge, the physicist used exactly the same resistors that the mathematician used, and his connection yields 2N. As an engineer , determine the two resistors that were used. Who connected it series and who connected it in parallel?

Question
Four resistors with resistance Rl = 22, R2=3N, R3=6 2, R4 =7 N are available and ready to be used. The mathematician chooses two resistors and connect it in a way that it yield a net resistance of 9 2. He returned the resistors and let the physicist take his turn. Without any knowledge, the physicist used exactly the same resistors that the mathematician used, and his connection yields 22. As an engineer <YOU>, determine the two resistors that were used. Who connected it series and who connected it in parallel?
