Step-by-step explanation:
R1 + R2 = 20
(R1 . R2)/ R1 + R2 = 48/10
solve them simultaneously u will get answer

Answer:
When resistors are connected in series, equivalent Resistance R ==>
R1 + R2
In parallel ==> 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
So equivalent Resistance = (R1×R2)/(R1+R2)
Given:
R1+R2 = 20 ohm
(R1×R2) / R1+R2 = 4.8 ohm
(R1×R2) / 20 = 4.8
R1×R2 = 96
R2=96/R1 --(1)
From R1 + R2 = 20
R1 + 96/R1 = 20
R1^2 - 20R1 + 96 = 0
R1^2 -12R1 - 8R1 + 96 =0
R1(R1 -12) -8(R1 - 12) = 0
(R1 - 12)(R1 - 8) = 0
So its 8 and 12
