Expert Answer:
Let us assume that there are three resistors where each of their resistance is R ohm,
And it is given that when al the three resistors are connected in series their effective resistance is X ohm. And when connected in parallel, their effective resistance is Y.
Therefore the relation between R, X and Y is given below.
When connected in series, the effective resistance is given by
When conected in parallel, their effective resistance is
