Answer

From greatest to least: Series, $R_{1}$, $R_{2}$, Parallel

Work Step by Step

Let $R_{1}$ = 2 ohm and $R_{2}$ = 1 ohms. So in series, the equivalent Resistance is =$ R_{1} + R_{2}$ = 2 + 1 = 3 ohms In parallel, the equivalent Resistance is = $\frac{R_{1} * R_{2}}{ R_{1} + R_{2}} = \frac{2 * 1}{ 2 + 1} = \frac{2}{3}$ ohms From greatest to least: Series, $R_{1}$, $R_{2}$, Parallel
