  2. B \( 21 \) A
  3. C \( 19 \mathrm{~A} \)
  4. D \( 44 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 21 \) A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Kirchhoff's 1st law, at any junction in a circuit, the sum of currents arriving at the junction is equal to the sum
of currents leaving the junction.
Therefore, \( 20 A+4 A=3 A+I \)
\( \Rightarrow I=21 A \)
