Expert Answer
If the resistances are connected in a parallel, then the equivalent resistance of the circuit would be lesser than the least of the resistances.
So, lets consider 3 resistances connected in parallel. R1 = 2 ohms, R2 = 3ohms, R3 = 5 ohms
So, R1 = 2 ohms is the least of all.
Now, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5 = 31/30
Req = 30/31 which is lesser than R1 = 2ohms which has the smallest resistance of all the resistances given.
