A Levels Physics (9702)•9702/13/M/J/19

Explanation
Reversed wiring requires both switches in matching Z2 position Steps:
- Original setup lights lamp with switches in opposite positions via crossed travelers.
- Reversing X and Z connects supply to Z and routes X through the second switch, swapping traveler logic to require same positions.
- Trace paths: supply enters at Z; second switch (Y common) must connect to Z2 for matching traveler.
- First switch must then connect X to Z2 to complete path to lamp via shared Z2 wire.
Why D is correct:
- Both to Z2 aligns travelers, closing circuit from supply at Z through Z2 to lamp, following reversed two-way switch logic.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Y1 and Z1 mismatch travelers, leaving path open.
- B: Y1 and Z2 select opposite travelers, no connection.
- C: Z1 and Z2 use different travelers, circuit incomplete.
Final answer: D
