Total Resistance=50
R1 and R2 are in parallel.
(1/R1)+(1/R2)=(1/50)
R1=270 ohms (given)
R2=61.36
R2=R1/(m-1)
where m=(Total Current/Current through 270 ohms)
Using above formula find out the current through 270 ohms...

Can be explain anybody ?

Acc to CDR, current = (particular resistance * total current)/total resistance..

Thanks raja.

According to current div rule.

Current= (total current*total resistance) /particular resistance.
