Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Voltage across 5Ω resistor = IR = 2 × 5 = 10V
Since voltage in a parallel connection is the same, voltage across 10Ω is also 10V
Current flowing across the 10Ω resistor

I = V/R = 10/10

Current I= 1A


Total current flowing = 2 + 1 = 3A


Voltage across 20Ω resistor = IR

= 3 × 20

= 60V
