Combination of Resistors

Equivalent resistance between the adjacent corners of a regular n-sided polygon of uniform wire of resistance R would be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Each side has $\dfrac{R}{n}$ ; the rest of the polygon has $\dfrac{(n-1)R}{n}$ .
$R_{eq} = \dfrac{\frac{R}{n} \cdot \frac{(n-1)R}{n}}{R} = \dfrac{(n-1)R}{n^2}$
So the answer is (a).
