A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Answer: C
Clarification: Applying Nodal analysis the voltage V is given by (10-V)/2+(20-V)/5=V/3. V=8.7V. Now the current through 3Ω resistor in the circuit is I = V/3 = 8.7/3 = 2.9A ≅ 3A.

A. 4
B. 3
C. 2
D. 1
Answer: B
Clarification: V^‘=((V₁G₁+V₂G₂))/(G₁+G₂)=(10(1/2)+20(1/5))/(1/2+1/5)=12.86V. R’=1/((G₁+G₂))=1/(1/2+1/5)=1.43Ω. Current through 3Ω resistor=I=12.86/(3+1.43)=2.9A≅3A.
