Physics Question from JEE Main 2025 · 3 April, Shift 2

Two cells of emf $1 \, \text{V}$ and $2 \, \text{V}$ and internal resistance $2 \, \Omega$ and $1 \, \Omega$, respectively, are connected in series with an external resistance of $6 \, \Omega$. The total current in the circuit is $I_1$. Now the same two cells in parallel configuration are connected to the same external resistance. In this case, the total current drawn is $I_2$. The value of $\left( \frac{I_1}{I_2} \right)$ is $\frac{x}{3}$. The value of x is _____ .
