Q7:

Given below are two statements:
Several resistances

R_{1}, R_{2}, . . . . . . . . . R_{n}

$R_1, R_2, .........R_n$ are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combination is

R

$R$ .

Assertion (A):	The fractional error in $R$ is most affected by that of the smallest resistance in the combination, other things being equal.
Reason (R):	In parallel, the conductances add. The contribution to the overall error in the conductance is largest for the largest conductance or the smallest resistance.

1.	Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2.	Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3.	(A) is True but (R) is False.
4.	(A) is False but (R) is True.
