The current through $1 \Omega$ resistance in the following circuit is

- 0.6 A
- 1.5 A
- 0.1 A
- 0.5 A
Solution
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore i\left(R_{P Q}+R_{Q R}\right)=(I-i)\left(R_{P S}+R_{S R}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow(5+1) i=(2.1-i)(12.5+2.5) \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{2.1-i}{i}=\frac{6}{15} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{2.1}{i}=\frac{7}{5} \\ & \Rightarrow i=1.5 \mathrm{~A}\end{aligned}$Asked in: MHT CET 2022 (08 Aug Shift 2)
