R1 , R2 and R3 resistors are connected in series. The equivalent resistance R = R1 + R2 + R3 .

Question

Statement X : R₁ , R₂ and R₃ resistors are connected in series. The equivalent resistance R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ . 

Statement Y : R₁ , R₂ and R₃ resistors are connected in parallel. The reciprocal of equivalent resistance 1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

A) Both statements are true 

B) Both statements are false 

C) X is true, Y is false

D) X is false, Y is true.

Answer 1

A) Both statements are true
