Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=\mathrm{R}_1+\mathrm{R}_2 \\ & \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{eq}}=150.4+\frac{240 \times 10}{250} \\ & =150.4+9.6=160 \Omega \\ & \mathrm{I}_1=\frac{\mathrm{I} \mathrm{R}_2}{240} \\ & \mathrm{I}_1=\frac{\mathrm{I} \times 9.6}{240} \\ &…
