Question

Consider the circuit shown in the figure, where all the light bulbs are identical. Rank the light bulbs from brightest to dimmest. Ties are possible. Use the symbols > and = to indicate your ranking, listing any that are equal in alphabetical order. For example, if Y and Z are the same and are both greater than X, then you would enter Y=Z>X (note: Z=Y>X would be incorrect, since Y and Z, being equal, must be in alphabetical order).
BRIGHTEST  DIMMEST

If bulb C is removed, breaking the circuit at that point, which bulb or bulbs go out? List the letters of the bulbs alphabetically (without commas) or type the word NONE if no bulbs go out.

If, instead, bulb E is removed, which bulb or bulbs go out? List the letters of the bulbs alphabetically (without commas) or type the word NONE if no bulbs go out.

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is:

A=E=F>B>C=D
