The perovskite manganite La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]MnO3 compound is used as a component in ceramic ([Formula: see text](La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]MnO[Formula: see text]-xC composites at x = 0.15–0.85. It is found that every studied specimen is characterized by the linear dependence of the positive magnetoresistance (PMR) on the magnetic field strength at room temperature. The 0.6(La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]MnO[Formula: see text]-0.4C composite has the largest magnetoresistance value (15%) at room temperature and intensity of magnetic field [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]kOe. A possible mechanism for the PMR of ([Formula: see text](La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]MnO[Formula: see text]-xC composites is discussed.
