Answer

a. $280000\ \Omega $. b. $1680000\ \Omega.$ c. $1120000\ \Omega.$ d. $560000\ \Omega$

Work Step by Step

a. The black fourth band indicates a tolerance of $\pm 20\%$. $$20\% \times 9200\Omega = (0.20)(1400000\Omega) =280000\ \Omega .$$ That is, the tolerance is $280000\ \Omega $. b. The upper limit is $$1400000\ \Omega + 280000\ \Omega=1680000\ \Omega.$$ c. The lower limit is $$1400000\ \Omega - 280000\ \Omega=1120000\ \Omega.$$ d. The tolerance interval is then $$ 1680000\ \Omega-1120000\ \Omega= 560000\ \Omega .$$
