The totla resistance in a parallel circuit is always less than the least resistance. For example, we have two resistances in series as 2 ohm and 3 ohm. Then the total resistance of the parallel combination would be

(2*3) / (2+3) = (6/5) = 1.2.

Not always less than the least resistance. For ex: 1, 2 n 3, we get 1 as equivalent resistance if connected in parallel. Answer must be less than or equal to the least. Therefore, false.

In parallel circuit the voltage is same. Hence total current It = v/r. Let us the denominator is too least we calculate the lowest value in resistance.
