Combination of Resistors

In the given circuit, the current in 8 $\Omega$ resistance is 1.5 A. The total current (I) flowing in the circuit is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

$8\ \Omega$ and $3\ \Omega$ are in parallel, so same voltage: $V = 1.5 \times 8 = 12$ V.
$I_2 = \dfrac{12}{3} = 4$ A
$I = 1.5 + 4 = 5.5$ A. So the answer is (d) 5.5 A.
