Answer:

Correct Answer: 50.(d)

Solution:

Formula:

Combination of Resistances:

  1. Given circuit is redrawn and can be simplified as

So, current drawn through cell is

$ \begin{aligned} i & =\frac{\text { Voltage }}{\text { Net resistance of the circuit }} \\ & =\frac{V}{R _{\text {eq }}^{\prime \prime}}=\frac{15}{(160 / 3)}=\frac{9}{32} A \end{aligned} $
