Problem: in an electric circuit , two resistors with resistances 3 ohm and 5 ohm are connected in parallel . in this case , if r is the combined resistance of these two resistors , then the reciprocal of r is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of two resistors . what is the value ? 
Options: ['a ) 15 ohms', 'b ) 15 / 8 ohms', 'c ) 1 / 8 ohms', 'd ) 8 / 15 ohms', 'e ) 8 ohms']
b
