Q. The current in the given circuit is

A) $8.31\ A$
B) $6.82\ A$
C) $4.92\ A$
D) $2\ A$
Explanation

(d) $6\Omega$ and $6\Omega$ are in series, so effective resistance is $12\Omega$ which is in parallel with $3\Omega,$ so
$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{15}{36}$
$\Rightarrow R = \frac{36}{15}$
$\therefore I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{4.8 \times 15}{36} = 2A$
