c (c) Total resistance of the circuit $ = \frac{{80}}{2} + 20 = 60\,\Omega $
$ \Rightarrow $ Main current $i = \frac{2}{{60}} = \frac{1}{{30}}A$
Combination of voltmeter and $80$ $\Omega$ resistance is connected in series with $20$ $\Omega$, so current through $20$ $\Omega$ and this combination will be same $ = \frac{1}{{30}}A$.
Since the resistance of voltmeter is also $80$ $\Omega$, so this current is equally distributed in $80$ $\Omega$ resistance and voltmeter (i.e.$\frac{1}{{60}}A$ through each)
$P.D.$ across $80$ $\Omega$ resistance $ = \frac{1}{{60}} \times 80 = 1.33\,V$

In an aluminium $(A1)$ bar of square cross section, a square hole is drilled and is filled with iron ( $Fe$ ) as shown in the figure. The electrical resistivities of $A 1$ and $Fe$ are $2.7 \times 10^{-8} \ \Omega m$ and $1.0 \times 10^{-7} \ \Omega m$, respectively. The electrical resistance between the two faces $P$ and $Q$ of the composite bar is
Resistance $n$, each of $r\; ohm$, when connected in parallel give an equivalentresistance of $R\; ohm$. If these resistances were connected in series, the combination would have a resistance in $ohms$, equal to
