Answer 2

In figure the ratio of currents in 3ohm and 1ohm resistor is 1:2

• Consider the given figure,
• Resistance in series = Rs = 1 ohm
• Resistance in parallel = Rp
• 1/R = 1/3 + 1/6 = 3/6
• R = 6/3 = 2
• ∴ Resistance in parallel = Rp = 2
• Now, we have,
• I = V/R
• considering the voltage "V" to be constant, we have,
• I = 1/R
• The ratio resistance in parallel to the resistance in series
• = Rp/Rs = 2/1 = 2
• Now, consider the current equation
• I = 1/R
• I = 1/2
• ∴ I = 1:2
