Dear Danny,
You are absolutely right that this is a bad question. I apologize for the
mix up. I have been out of the office for several weeks and I transfer
the questions from where ever I am to our office. Something got lost in
my typing of the question. Maybe it was my mind. The correct wording was:
What is the total resistance of three 100 ohm resistors connected
in series?
I am sorry for the mixup. There was nothing wrong with the question
developed by the designers who created the original. Just my bad
typing. Thanks for your review.
