Answer
(a) When same current flows in each resistor, then the two resistors are joined in series
(b) When potential difference is same across each resistor, then the two resistors are joined in parallel
(c) When equivalent resistance is less than either of the two resistances, then the two resistors are joined in parallel
(d) When equivalent resistance is more than either of the two resistances, then the two resistors are joined in series
