Two resistors of resistance \[{{R}_{1}}\] and \[{{R}_{2}}\] having \[{{R}_{1}}>{{R}_{2}}\] are connected in parallel. For equivalent resistance \[R\], the correct statement is [CPMT 1978; KCET (Med.) 2000]

• A.                    \[R>{{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}\]
• B.                                      \[{{R}_{1}}<R<{{R}_{2}}\]
• C.                    \[{{R}_{2}}<R<({{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}})\]                    
• D.            \[R<{{R}_{1}}\]
