    Answer:The equivalent resistance is less than the resistance of a single resistor

    Explanation:

    Imagine three 3-ohm resistors connected in parallel.

    1/Req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R

    1/Req = 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3

    equivalent resistance is [3 (1/3) ^-1]=1ohm

    This is less than the individual resistance of each of the original three ohm resistors. Hence the answer.
