Problem
Three resistors of different resistance values are to be connected so that the equivalent resistance is guaranteed to be smaller than the smallest of the three individual resistors. Which of the following arrangements achieves this guarantee?
(a) All three connected in series
(b) Two resistors in parallel with the third resistor connected in series with that pair
(c) All three connected in parallel
(d) Two resistors in series with the third resistor connected in parallel across that pair
