In parallel branch circuit voltage remains same and current are differents in each branch

So 12*5= 60 and 12*4=48 so ans is 'A'

Current through 5 branches = 60mA.

If one branch is open then resistance = 12+12+12+12+R= 60.
i.e 48+R= 60.
& R=60-48=12.

@All.'

The Answer B is correct, because the question is (current in each of the other four branches).

Here, it is asked each of the other branch neither four branches. So, the correct answer is 12mA.

The question is about other branch current. Not total current. So it will remain unaffected.

@Amit is correct because the question is each other four branch.

When the circuit gets opened, no current flows. So I suppose 0.

@Piyush Kanani.

Thank you for explaining the right answer.

Bibek said:   7 years ago
It should be 15. Because no current flows in open circuit.

Yes, I agree with you@Ashwath.
