    In a circuit, 3 resistors of resistance\[1.2\,\Omega ,\]\[2\,\Omega ,3\,\Omega \] are connected in parallel. The value of equivalent resistance is

    A)  less than\[1.2\,\Omega \]

    B)  greater than\[1.2\,\Omega \]

    C)  between\[1.2\,\Omega \]and\[2\,\Omega \]

    D)  between\[2\,\Omega \]and\[3\,\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     For parallel circuit \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{eq}}}=\frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{3}}}\] \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{eq}}}=\frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}\] \[\frac{1}{{{R}_{eq}}}=\frac{6+3.6+2.4}{1.2\times 2\times 3}\] \[{{R}_{eq}}=\frac{7.2}{12}\] \[=0.6\,\Omega \] It is less than\[1.2\,\Omega \].
