series connection will bhave like parallel connection of resistnces..
n parallel one like series...
Can anyone tell me that is there any rule to replace several springs connected (in series or in parallel) having diff. spring const. to a single spring........

yeah but solve by the basics...
for example in case of so called parallel
if x is the displacement then elongation in each spring will x so force applied by each will be:
(respective spring constant)*x
so this adds up to give(ΣKi)*x
But notice point of application of individual forces they are not same so a trap can be made to insert some unbalanced torque ...
try for series.....
In case of series you can use combinations as point of application of force is same.... :)
But with an elongation of x each spring will elongate according to their ability depending on spring constants.....
