You are given several identical resistances each of value R = 10W and each capable of carrying a maximum current of one ampere. It is required to make a suitable combination of these resistances of 5W which can carry a current of 4 ampere. The minimum number of resistances of the type R that will be required for this job is
(a) 4
(b) 10
(c) 8
(d) 20
