Answer 2

Explanation:

The equivalent resistance of the Voltmeter (1000Ω) and the given resistance of 1000Ω is 500ohms.

Now in effect there are two resistance in the circuit each of 500Ω.

Hence the p.d. of 1.5volt will be equally divided across the two i.e., p.d. across each will be 0.75volt.

The voltmeter will read this potential difference
