Accepted Answer

$\mathrm{I}_1=1.5 \mathrm{~A}, \mathrm{R}_1=8 \Omega$
P.D. across $\mathrm{R}_1=1.5 	imes 8=12 \mathrm{~V}$
$\mathrm{R_2=3 \Omega ; R_2}$ is in parallel with $\mathrm{R_1}$ and hence P.D. across it is also 12 V.
$	herefore \mathrm{I}_2=\frac{12}{3}=4 \mathrm{~A}$
Total current $\mathrm{I}=\mathrm{I}_1+\mathrm{I}_2=1.5+4=5.5 \mathrm{~A}$
