I=7.6mA so.
~7.6=12V/(7.5K*2K/9.5K).
So R2 is not considered for the meter current so it can a open R2.

Just look at the fig. above, there is showing batteries positive lead is connected to ground. Not a short to another component which is also grounded. If positive supply connect to the ground else is there current flow in the circuit! Please tell me.

Voltmeter is in parallel connection, so reading is 12V.

Now for resistance calculation which is connected parallel with 2k ohm resistance (R3):

Equivalent resis. R = 12V/7.6mA = (30/19)K ohm.
So, Rx ll R3 = (30/19)k.
or, (1/Rx)+ (1+R3) = 1/(30/19)k.
or, (1/Rx)+ (1/2) = (19/30).
or, (1/Rx) = (19/30)-(1/2).
or, 1/Rx = 4/30.
or, Rx = 30/4 = 7.5k ohm.

i.e., shows R1 is connected & R2 is opened.

Do the total resistance in the cut by V/I that is 1.578.

Then do the total combination or resist ivory in parallel which resisters combination gives 1.578 ohms and other resistor is open.
