Except R3 Resistance, all other resistance are zero so no current flow, so r3 also no current flow and no voltage R3=0.

@Jagmel I agree with you.
AS it is given in resistors 12456 zero voltage. So either the resistance or the current in those resistors may be zero. So answer is 6V.

A starting all 5 resisters are connected 6 volts, in series connection there are all ways same voltage in all resister. Starting are IS 6V r3 resister is always 6v.

All right series same R3 is same.

Current flowing through resistors is same and let it be I. Voltage drops across resistors rated zero will be i*r which will be equal to zero. The voltage across resistor 3 will be 6 volts.

The value of are is zero no voltage drop then same we flow in circuit.

I known given voltage are same in all resistors i.e. 6v.

If the resistors are open then how can we measure voltage across R3?

If the voltage across any resistor is zero that means resistor is shorted and the whole voltage appears across the resistor active in the circuit.
As in the question it is give that R3 is active so the whole voltage appears across it. The voltage give in question is 6v.
Therefore answer: 6V.

Question not having any relevance.
Correct answer for this question is zero.
In a series circuit the voltage drop zero across all resistance except R3 it means this is an open circuit.
Also, it can persume Battery dead. Other circuit shorted should not be a correct argument.
For justifying the given answer you can find out the way.That is all.
Series circuit voltage zero means no current so open circuit or batter dead.
Answer is zero.
