Vacular systems of 5 organs are arranged in parallel. The vascular resistance of each organ is the same and the total resistance of the entire circuit is 0.05 mmHg/ml/min. Which of the following values is the total resistance of the entire circuit if one of the organs was removed?
a.-0.0625 mmHg/ml/min
b.-0.0725 mmHg/ml/min
c.-0.04 mmHg/ml/min
d.-0.03 mmHg/ml/min
e.-0.01 mmHg/ml/min

A R=20....that means 1/R = 1/0.05
reisistance of each organ is same=4+ 4+4+4+4=20
4=1/0.25...if one organ was removed....1/R= 1/0.25+1/0.25+1/0.25+1/0.25=16
so R is 1/16=0.0625
