No. The given answer is wrong. It may increase or decrease resistance value depending on the value of resistance.

If R1 is in series with parallel connected to R2 and R3, what happens to total current if R2 opens?

Three identical resistors are connected in series to a battery. If the current of 12 A flows the battery, how much current flows through any one of the resistors?

Can anyone answer this?

In a parallel circuit, if any one resistor remains open the total circuit resistance increases.
