Answer 1

Answer:

Let's take resistor of 1 ohm, 6 ohm, 5 ohm

1. All in Series

2. All in Parallel

3.

Two in Parllel (6 and 5ohm resistor), one in Series(1 ohm resistor)

4.

Two in Parllel (1 and 5ohm resistor), one in Series(6 ohm resistor)

Explanation:

So if you want to have a maximum resistance then the resistor should be connected in SERIES

And if you want to have a minimum resistance then the resistor should be connected in PARALLEL
