Four resistances are connected in a circuit in the given figure. The electric cirrent flowing through `4 ohm` and `6 ohm` resistance is respectively

A

`2 amp` and `3 amp`

B

`1 amp` and `2 amp`

C

`1 amp` and `1 amp`

D

`2 amp` and `2 amp`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

(d) Equivalent resistance `=(4 xx 4)/(4 + 4) + (6 xx 6)/(6 + 6) = 5 ohm` So the
current in the circuit `= (20)/(5) = 4` ampere. Hence, the
current flowing through each resistance `= 2` ampere.
