Total current = 1.4 amp.
R2 parallel with R3 = 10 ohms,
the ratio of V on 10 ohms = 0.667 * 21 = 14 volt ( The voltage is divided by the series resistors )
Then Return the circuit as it was before;
I = V/R.
= 14/R2 = 14/35 =0.4 Amp == 400 m Amp.

In a circuit, R1 and R2 are connected in series having a resistance of 5 ohms and 10 ohms respectively. The voltage across resistor R1 is equal to 4 V. Find the current passing through R2 and the voltage across the same resistor.

Loop1: V =i1(R1+R2) - i2R2.
=> 21=40i1-35i2 ---------1.
Loop2: - i1R1+i2(R2+R3) =0.
=> - 35i1+49i2=0.
=> i1=(49/35)i2=(7/5)i2-------2.
Solving 1 and 2,
i2 = 1 A
i1 = 1.4 A.
Current through R2 = i1-i2
= 0.4 A = 400 mA.
=> 21=40i1-35i2 ---------1.
Loop2: - i1R1+i2(R2+R3) =0.
=> - 35i1+49i2=0.
=> i1=(49/35)i2=(7/5)i2-------2.
Solving 1 and 2,
i2 = 1 A
i1 = 1.4 A.
Current through R2 = i1-i2
= 0.4 A = 400 mA.
