Equivalent resistance of parallel resistors is always less than any of the member of the resistance system.

Q. Two resistors of resistances $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ having $R_{1} > R_{2}$ are connected in parallel. For equivalent resistance $R$ , the correct statement is

$R > R_{1} + R_{2}$

$R_{1} < R < R_{2}$

$R_{2} < R < (R_{1} + R_{2})$

$R < R_{1}$

Equivalent resistance of parallel resistors is always less than any of the member of the resistance system.

Q. Two resistors of resistances R1​ and R2​ having R1​>R2​ are connected in parallel. For equivalent resistance R, the correct statement is

R>R1​+R2​

R1​<R<R2​

R2​<R<(R1​+R2​)

R<R1​

Equivalent resistance of parallel resistors is always less than any of the member of the resistance system.
