Answer
In order to get a total resistance less than 1 Ω, the three resistors of values 2 Ω, 3 Ω and 5 Ω, should be connected in parallel as shown in the diagram below:
In parallel, if the equivalent resistance is RP, then
Hence, the three resistors should be connected in parallel and total resistance = 0.97 Ω
