उत्तर
The three resistors should be connected in parallel
To get a total resistance less than 1Ω
In parallel, if the equivalent resistance is RP, then
`therefore 1/R_p = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2 + 1/R_3`
`therefore 1/R_p =1/2+1/3+1/5`
`therefore 1/R_p = (15+10+6)/30`
`therefore 1/R_p = 31/30`
⇒ `R_p = 30/31 = 0.97 Ω`
