Two resistors 3 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is

A. 1 Ω

B. 9 Ω

C. 2 Ω

D. 3 Ω

Answer: Option C

Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)

For parallel: 1/R = 1/3 + 1/6 = (2+1)/6 = 3/6 = 1/2 => R = 2 Ω. Product/sum rule for two: (3×6)/(3+6)=18/9=2 Ω. Always less than smallest resistance.
