R1 = 1 kΩ = 1000Ω; R2 = 1 kΩ = 1000Ω; R3 = 500 Ω
It is clear from the data and table that R1 and R2 are connected in parallel and this combination is connected in series with R3.
The effective resistance of R1 and R2 in parallel is Rp = R1 R2/(R1 + R2)
Rp = 1000 x 1000/(1000 + 1000) = 500Ω
The effective resistance Rp and R3 are in series.
Total resistance of the combination, Req = Rp + R3 = 500 + 500 = 1000 Ω
The given value of equivalent resistance, Req = 1000 Ω
