A 12 k
resistor, a 15 k
resistor, and a 22 k
resistor are in series with two 10 k
resistors that are in parallel. The source voltage is 75 V. Current through the 15 k
resistor is approximately

RKM , we do not have any current source so how can CDR be used ?
If the question about any 10 k ohm , then we find the total resistor then use I=V/R(total) <<<= here I is as I source.
Then back to the original drawing and use CDR:
I(throught 10 kohm) = (R(total of two 10kohm)/R10kohm+R10kohm)*Isource.
I = (5/10)*1.388m.
=0.694mA for each R10 k ohm.
By using kirshof current low ( KCL ) we prove that Isource = I1 + I2.
I = (0.694 + 0.694 ) mA.
= 1.388 mA.

Using current divider rule after total current flow we get the answer.

Ok but they add total resistance of the the circuit. And in series circuit current same in all resistance so answer is 1.4mA.

But Question is Current through the 15 k resistor is approximately?
Here all of you give the answer of full resistance of the circuit not for particular one.

(12+15+22)+ ((10*10)/(10+10))=54kohm
I=V/R= 75/54= 1.3888
approx 1.4
I=V/R= 75/54= 1.3888
approx 1.4

49*75/20+75=38.68
THEN
38/38.68=1.37...SO ROUND OFF 1.4
THEN
38/38.68=1.37...SO ROUND OFF 1.4
