The only correct statement for the following electric circuit is:

(1) The Voltmeter has been correctly connected in the circuit
(2) The Ammeter has been correctly connected in the circuit
(3) The Resistors R₁and R₂ have been correctly connected in series
(4) The Resistors R₁ and R₂ have been correctly connected in parallel

Solution

Both the ammeter and the voltmeter are connected with the wrong polarity in the circuit, and as both ends of the resistances are in contact hence they are connected in parallel.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
