Answer 1

60 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equivalent resistance of two resistors R₁ and R₂ in parallel, we can use the formula:

1/Req = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂

where Req is the equivalent resistance.

Substituting the values given, we get:

1/Req = 1/30 + 1/20

Simplifying, we get:

1/Req = 1/60

Multiplying both sides by Req, we get:

Req = 60 ohms

Therefore, the equivalent resistance of the two resistors R₁ and R₂ in parallel is 60 ohms.
