Which of the following is not a correct statement

You are given several identical resistances each of value $R = 10\,\Omega $ and each capable of carrying maximum current of $1\, ampere$. It is required to make a suitable combination of these resistances to produce a resistance of $5\,\Omega $ which can carry a current of $4\, amperes$.
