Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(8 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Applying KCL at the bottom junction: \(4A + 1A = 5A\) flows upward. At the top junction, \(3A\) flows down and \(2A\) leaves to the right, so \(1A\) continues downward. Applying KCL at the middle junction: Currents entering: \(5A\) (from left) \(+ 5A\) (from bottom) \(+ 1A\)…
