Assertion: In a circuit which is having three series resistors of each, the total resistance of the circuit will be 3R.
Reason: As in parallel circuit the resultant resistance will be
(2)
Resultant resistance is the addition of individual resistance present in the series circuit. So, according to the above statement,
So, total resistance will be 3R. In parallel combination, resultant resistance will be
Thus, both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
