The correct answer is:
\(R < 2 \Omega \)
Given, voltmeter reading \( =6 \mathrm{~V} \); ammeter reading \( =3 \mathrm{~A} \)
Using ohm's law, \( V=I R ; R=\frac{V}{I} \Rightarrow R=\frac{6}{3}=2 \Omega \)
This will be the case when ideal ammeter and voltmeter are used. Therefore, the value of resistance \( \mathrm{R} \) is less than \( 2 \Omega \),
that is \( R < 2 \Omega \)
