JEE Main 8 April 2023, Shift 2, Physics Q50

Question 50 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 20 of 30, Section A.

The equivalent resistance between A and B as shown in figure is:

The figure, in words

Terminal A, then 20 kΩ resistor to node C, then a second 20 kΩ resistor to node D, then a 10 kΩ resistor to terminal B. A wire runs from the left of the first 20 kΩ resistor (A side) over the top to node D (before the 10 kΩ), and a wire runs from node C down and across the bottom to the B side after the 10 kΩ resistor
