Solution

The correct option is A True
When two resistors R and r are connected in paralle.

Equivalent resistance =Ro=RrR+r=R1+Rr

Since,1+Rr>1

Ro<R

Similarly, Ro<r

Hence, when resistors are connected in parallel, equivalent resistance is less than each individual resistance.

Given statement is True.
