I = V/R.

R1 = 1 kohm.
R2 = 2 kohm.

Their four r2 = 12/2 = 6 ma.

Voltage is same in parallel circuit so directly 12/2k = 6 mA.

@Mohan

The formula in last step is voltage divider rule.

Voltage division formula r2=r1*I/r1+r2;r1=r2*I/r1+r2

Not voltage divider but current divider.

This 18mA current how? Please explain.

Can we use current divider rule here?

V=IR
12 = I(2K)
I=12/2K
I= 6mA
