a

If the devices (including battery) are ideal, ammeter will read zero current and voltmeter will read the emf of cell

b

If the devices are ideal, a large current will flow through the ammeter and it will be damaged

c

The main current in the circuit will be very low and almost all current will flow through the ammeter, if resistance of ammeter is much smaller than the resistance in parallel.

d

The devices may get damaged if emf of the cell is very high and the meters are non ideal.

answer is A, C, D.

Detailed Solution

For non ideal ammeter and voltmeter, ammeter have low resistance and voltmeter have  high resistance. Therefore the main current in the circuit will be very low and almost all  current will flow through the ammeter. It emf of cell is very high then current in ammeter  is very high result of this current the devices may get damaged. If devices are ideal that  means resistance of voltmeter is infinity. so that current in the circuit is zero. Therefore  ammeter will read zero reading and voltmeter will read the emf of cell.
