Step 1: Determine total impedance in the circuit
The given circuit consists of a resistor in series with a parallel LC circuit, where the inductor reactance is and the capacitor reactance is .
Since , the net reactance of the LC branch is: Thus, the LC branch acts as a short circuit, meaning the impedance of the parallel combination is zero.
Step 2: Calculate total circuit current
The only effective impedance in the circuit is the resistor , so the total impedance is: Using Ohm’s law, the current through the circuit is: Step 3: Determine the voltmeter reading
Since the LC branch is a short circuit, the voltage across the parallel LC circuit (voltmeter reading) is: Final Answer: The ammeter reads and the voltmeter reads , which matches option (1).
