The two 10 Ω resistors inside are connected in parallel between the left node and middle node.
The 10 V battery has positive terminal on the right, so:
$$V_B-V_A=10\text{ V}$$
Thus voltage across each parallel resistor is 10 V.
Current through each:
$$I_1=I_2=\frac{10}{10}=1\text{ A}$$
(direction shown right to left, matching arrows)
Now consider the outer loop.
The 20 V battery has positive terminal on the left, so moving left to right across it gives a drop of 20 V20\text{ V}20 V.
Taking left node as 0 V:
Voltage across bottom 10 Ω10\,\Omega10Ω resistor:
$$0-(-10)=10\text{ V}$$
Hence,
$$I_3=\frac{10}{10}=1\text{ A}$$
Now,
$$\left|\frac{I_1+I_3}{I_2}\right|=\left|\frac{1+1}{1}\right|=2$$Create a FREE account and get:
