Detailed Solution

As the ammeter is connected in series in a circuit, it should have very low resistance to maintain the actual current in the circuit. So, for ideal state, it should have zero resistance.

As the voltmeter is connected in parallel in a circuit, it should have very high resistance so that it does not draw any current form the circuit to measure accurate reading. So, in ideal state, it should have infinite resistance.
