if we connect ammeter in parallel then it will not show the correct reading of current As only some amount of current will be going through it. connecting voltmeter in parallel will measure the accurate voltage drop at the resistor

Ammeter:-
An ammeter is just a converted Galvanometer and measures the current flowing through the circuit by showing proportional deflection. An ammeter is formed by connecting a Galvanometer with a low resistance in parallel.
So the Ammeter is connected in series with the circuit elements and measures the current flow in a circuit.
Voltmeter:-
A Voltmeter is also a converted Galvanometer which measures the amount of Voltage (or) in other words the potential difference accross two points in a circuit. A voltmeter is formed by connecting a Galvanometer in series with a high resistance.
So the Voltmeter is attached in parallel in a circuit and measures the voltage in a circuit.
And if this is not maintained then there is a high chance for the ammeter to get damaged due to low resistance
