Given below are two statements :

Statement-I : The equivalent emf of two nonideal batteries connected in parallel is smaller than either of the two emfs.

Statement-II : The equivalent internal resistance of two nonideal batteries connected in parallel is smaller than the internal resistance of either of the two batteries.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Which of the following resistivity ( $\rho$ ) $\mathrm{v} / \mathrm{s}$ temperature ( T ) curves is most suitable to be used in wire bound standard resistors?

Sliding contact of a potentiometer is in the middle of the potentiometer wire having resistance $R_p=1 \Omega$ as shown in the figure. An external resistance of $R_e=2 \Omega$ is connected via the sliding contact. The electric current in the circuit is :

The effective resistance between $$A$$ and $$B$$, if resistance of each resistor is $$R$$, will be :
