You are right @Kamran.

R2, R3, and R4 are in parallel when we will increase R2 total resistance of parallel will decrease So voltage increase.

Voltage should be same means that the voltage is same across r2 r3 and r4 but this constant value may increase or decrease by varying the value of resistance i.e. v=IR.

But the voltage should remain same in parallel circuit.

When the resistance in parallel connection across R2 is increased, the amount of current in this shunt circuit will shift toward the other resistors placed in parallel legs, therefore the value of current will be increased in the remaining resistors i.e. R3 & R4.

Explain please.
