Use the highest available voltage setting. One should know the system voltage before attempting to measure, other wise it may lead to accidents.
The 110VAC to 125VAC range (not the 220VAC to 250VAC range).
For any value turn the multimeter to the highest scale in the value that you are measuring. By doing this you will not overload the meter by using a lower scale to measure a higher value.

It depends how they are connected. If they are connected between line conductors then they are measuring line voltages. If they are connected across phases then they are measuring phase voltages.
magnetic core balance test is used to find out the flux distribution. It can conduct either in HV side or LV side. In HV side, applying voltage between 2 phases and measuring the voltage across other phase.(eg.applying b/w U&V, and voltage b/w V&W , W&U measuring.) In LV side, applying voltage b/w any phase....and measuring voltage across other phases. Result: sum of measured voltage will be equal to applied voltage.
With an unknown voltage you should start out with the highest voltage setting on the meter. Doing this reduces the risk of "pegging" out the needle on an analog gauge or overloading the input of a DMM. Most DMM's are auto-ranging though.

Dc V if you are measuring direct current. Ac V setting if measuring AC voltage. Recommend using a meter that's AUTO Ranging.

forcing a constant current and measuring the voltage across the unknown resistor.

can some one please tell me when measuring voltage the probes should be connected to sequence or series?
current is measured with the meter in series and voltage is measured with the meter in parallel of the load
