Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 24 January, Shift 1

A network of resistors is connected to a battery of 24V24 \, \text{V} with an internal resistance of 3Ω3\Omega. The network forms a single loop with the battery: starting from the battery, the current passes first through the parallel combination of R1=2ΩR_1 = 2\Omega and R2=2ΩR_2 = 2\Omega, then through R3=2ΩR_3 = 2\Omega in series, then through the parallel combination of R4=20ΩR_4 = 20\Omega and R5=5ΩR_5 = 5\Omega, and finally through R6=2ΩR_6 = 2\Omega in series back to the battery. The currents through the resistors R4R_4 and R5R_5 are I4I_4 and I5I_5 respectively. The values of I4I_4 and I5I_5 are:

  • A

    I4=25AI_4 = \frac{2}{5} \, \text{A} and I5=85AI_5 = \frac{8}{5} \, \text{A}

  • B

    I4=85AI_4 = \frac{8}{5} \, \text{A} and I5=25AI_5 = \frac{2}{5} \, \text{A}

  • C

    I4=245AI_4 = \frac{24}{5} \, \text{A} and I5=65AI_5 = \frac{6}{5} \, \text{A}

  • D

    I4=65AI_4 = \frac{6}{5} \, \text{A} and I5=245AI_5 = \frac{24}{5} \, \text{A}
