In the closed loop ABDA ,
`100 I_(1) + 15 I_(g) - 60 I_(2)=0`
or `20 I_(1) + 3 I_(g) - 12 I_(2)=0`
In the closed loop BCDB ,
`10 (I_(1)- I_(g)) - 5 (I_(2) + I_(g)) - 15 I_(g)=0`
`10 I_(1) - 30 I_(g) - 5 I_(2)=0`
or `2 I_(1) - 6 I_(g) - I_(2)=0`
In the closed loop ADCEA,
`60 I_(2) + 5 (I_(2) + I_(g)) = 10`
or `65 I_(2) + 5I_(g) = 10 or 13 I_(2) + I_(g) = 2`
On solving (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
`I_(g) = 4/821 A = 4.87 mA`
