USING KIRCHOFF'S CURRENT LAW AT CENTRAL NODE,AND TAKE IT AS NODE A,AND GROUNDED POINT NODE B(Vb=0).THEN WE CAN GET,

((Va-12)/68)+((Va-0)/37)+((Va-4)/90)=0

(1665(Va-12)+3060Va+1258(Va-4))/113220=0

1665Va-19980+3060Va+1258Va-5032=0

5983Va=25012

so Va=25012/5983=4.1805 Volts

CURRENT THROUGH R2=37ohms,ie., IR2=4.1805*37=154.678amps

(Va-12)/68)+((Va-0)/37)+((Va-4)/90) = 0.

(1665(Va-12)+3060Va+1258(Va-4))/113220 = 0.

1665Va-19980+3060Va+1258Va-5032 = 0.

5983Va = 25012.

So Va = 25012/5983 = 4. 1805 Volt but the current through the r2 resistor is 4.

180/37 = 113mA.

Correct answer is:

(Va-12)/68-va/37-(va-4)/90 = 0.
=> 1665(va-12)-3060va-1258(va-4) = 0.
=> 5983va = 25012.
=> va = 4.180.

Hence,

IR2 = Va/37 = 4.180/37 = 112.97 = 113mA <=

Multiply 68*37*90 = 226440
then 226440/68 = 3330 again 3330/2 = 1665.
226440/37 = 6120 again 6120/2 = 3060.
226440/90 = 2516 again 2516/2 = 1258.

Answer of this question is 113 mA.

And by the way @Selva! how can we find the branch current using the formula which you used (IR2=4.1805*37=154.678amps)?

Kirchoff law -net current at a junction is 0.

Drop across 37 ohm resistor comes around 5v.

I equals v/r.

Which gives answer as option C.

First apply super position and than current divider rule.

Can anyone please explain how came 1665, 3060, and 12558?

Tamil said:   9 years ago
Correct answer is 113 mA. Thanks for giving me an idea.

@selva

ohms law V=IR | I=V/R

I= 4.1805/37 = 113mA
