R1+R2 = 5.6+4.7 = 10.3 K.
I = V/10.3.

V1 = 10V = 5.6XV/10.3.
V = 10X10.3/5.6 = 18.39.

Voltage across 4.7 K = 8.394.

The easy method:

V1/r1 = V2/r2.

So,

5.7/10 = 4.7/v2.

1.785*1000 = v2/4.7.

0.001785*4.7 = v2 .

V2 = 8.394.

Current flowing through all resistance in series is same.

In this question value of one resistor and voltage is given so we can find out the value of current.

10/(5.6*10^3) = 0.001785.

Voltage across 4.7 k ohm is V = IR : 4.7*10^3 * 0.001785 = 8.394.

Nice explanation Anurag

current will be same for both the register because it is in series,
so if we consider current across the registers is I,
Soby I=V/R;
I=10/(5.6*1000)=0.001786A
So Voltage across 4.7 kohm register:
V=0.001786*(4.7*1000)=8.394V

Thank you monali

current across 5.6 kohm register =10/5.6*1000=0.00178 A
so,voltage across 4.7 Kohm =.00178*4.7=8.3A
