Answer #1

We know ,current=i=voltage /Resistance.

So when resistor are in series the voltage get divided of total power supply between R1 and R2 But when R1 and R2 are in parallel both get same voltage as of power supply.

It means when resistor are in parallel voltage across R1 is more as compare when it is in series .Therefore when R1 in parallel it will get more Current.
