Correct Answer: 5. (b)

Solution:

  1. (b) Colour code for carbon resistor

0 Black

1 Brown Tolerance: $\pm 5 %$ Gold

2 Red $\pm 10 %$ Silver

3 Orange $\pm 20 %$ No colour

4 Yellow

5 Green

6 Blue

7 Violet

8 Grey

9 White

$(47 \pm 4.7) k \Omega=47 \times 10^{3} \pm 10 %$

$\therefore$ Yellow - Violet - Orange - Silver
