Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments question from JEE Main 2022 (30 Jul, Shift 2)

Answer: (b)

1. The right vertical wire joins the $3\ \Omega$ and $6\ \Omega$ ends to the bottom (negative) line.
2. So $3\ \Omega$ is directly across the battery, and $6\ \Omega \parallel 2\ \Omega = 1.5\ \Omega$.
3. Lower path: $1.5 + 1.5 = 3\ \Omega$; with the $3\ \Omega$: $R_{eq} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5\ \Omega$.
4. $I = \frac{9}{1.5} = 6$ A
5. So the answer is (b) $6$ A.
