Question

The colour sequence in a carbon resistor is red, brown, orange and silver. The resistance of the resistor is

A
$$21\times 10^3 \pm 10\%$$
B
$$23\times 10^1 \pm 10$$
C
$$21\times 10^3 \pm 5\%$$
D
$$12\times 10^3 \pm 5\%$$
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A. $$21\times 10^3 \pm 10\%$$
Red, brown, orange , silver red and brown represent the first two significant figures.
