Answer

a. $36 \ \Omega V$. b. $396 \ \Omega$. c. $324\ \Omega.$ d. $72 \ \Omega$

Work Step by Step

a. The silver fourth band indicates a tolerance of $\pm10\%$: $$10\% \times 360 \Omega = (0.10)(360 \Omega) =36 \ \Omega V.$$ That is, the tolerance is $36 \ \Omega $. b. The upper limit is $$36 \ \Omega +360\ \Omega=396 \ \Omega.$$ c.The lower limit is $$360\ \Omega-36 \ \Omega=324\ \Omega.$$ d. The tolerance interval is then $$ 396 \ \Omega-324\ \Omega= 72 \ \Omega .$$
