Step-by-step solution
For an infinite L-section ladder with series resistance R_s and shunt resistance R_ sh , the equivalent resistance R is given by: R = R_s + R_ sh R R_ sh + R R(R_ sh + R) = R_s(R_ sh + R) + R_ sh R R^2 - R_s R - R_s R_ sh = 0 For (A): R_s = 1 , R_ sh = 2 R^2 - R - 2 = 0 (R - 2)(R + 1) = 0 R = 2 . So, (A) matches with (I). For (B): R_s = 2 , R_ sh = 4 R^2 - 2R - 8 = 0 (R - 4)(R + 2) = 0 R = 4 . So, (B) matches with (II). For (C): R_s = 3 , R_ sh = 18 R^2 - 3R - 54 = 0 (R - 9)(R + 6) = 0 R = 9 . So, (C) matches with
