Given: Two resistors with resistances R1=5ohm and R2=10ohm, V=6volt 

(a) For minimum current these two should be connected in series. For maximum current these two should be connected in parallel. 

(b)In series, 

Total resistance = 5+10 = 15ohms 

Therefore total current drawn = V/R = 6/15 = 0.4amps 

In parallel, 

Total resistance R is given as 1/R=1/R1+1/R2 

1/R =1/5+1/10 

1/R=3/10 

R=10/3 ohm 

Therefore total current drawn by the circuit = V/R = 6/(10/3) =1.8amps.
