@Thejasvi.

How can you say 5ma is correct?

The current through circuit is 1.4ma and through 15k resistor is also the same because it is connected in series, for your kind information voltage across 15k resistor is not 75 volts. it varies in series circuit.

R = 12+15+22 = 49kohm.
R = 10/2 = 5kohm.

TR = 49+5 = 54kohm = 54000 ohm.
V = 75V.

I = V/R.
I = 75/54000 = 1.38mA.

The source voltage 75v in the circuit.
VT = 75v
15krI = ?
IT = ?
The circuit is both series and parallel but total voltage is given.
R15kI = VT/R15k.
R15kI = 75/15000,
= 5mA.
