A resistor coded with Red-Violet-Black-Gold bands respectively, would be of what value and tolerance?
A) 27 Ω +/- 5%
B) 0.27 Ω +/- 5%
C) 2.7 Ω +/- 5%
D) 270 Ω +/- 5%

The first band (red) represents the first digit, which is 2. The second band (violet) represents the second digit, which is 7. The third band (black) represents the multiplier, which is 10^0 = 1. The fourth band (gold) represents the tolerance, which is +/- 5%. Therefore, the resistor is 27 Ω +/- 5%.
