You can determine if a stock is being shorted by looking at the short interest ratio, which shows the percentage of a company's shares that have been sold short by investors. A high short interest ratio indicates that a stock is being heavily shorted.

How to know if the resistor is open and shorted?

I assume that the person asking the question meant "open OR shorted" as these are opposite terms. Most resistors will open when they are damaged. It is very rare to find one that is shorted. To determine if the resistor is open or shorted simply use a multimeter set to measure ohms. Place the leads across the resistor and it should read the resistance value of the resistor. If it measures max range of the meter (some digitals will display "OL") then the resistor is open. If it measures 0 or very close then it is shorted, which as mentioned above, is unlikely.
