Apply $\mathrm{KVL}$ from $\mathrm{A}$ to $\mathrm{B}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}-4 \mathrm{i}-9-\mathrm{i}_{1}+3-4 \mathrm{i}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}=0$

$16-8 i-9-i_{1}+3=0\left(A s V_{A}-V_{B}=16 V\right)$

$8 i+i_{1}=10$           ...........$(i)$

$\mathrm{KVL}$ in loop

$-9-i_{1}+2\left(i-i_{1}\right)=0$

$2 i-3 i_{1}=9$         .........$(ii)$

solving equation $(i)$ and $(ii)$

$\mathrm{i}=1.5 \mathrm{\,A}$ and $\mathrm{i}_{1}=-2 \mathrm{\,A}$

Current through $2\, \Omega$ resistance will be $=i-i_{1}$

$=1.5-(-2)$

$=3.5 \mathrm{\,A}$

    This question contains statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

    statement$-1$ : The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$. The resistance of a wire changes from $100\; \Omega$ to $150\; \Omega$ when its temperature is increased from $27^{\circ} C$ to $227^{\circ} C$. This implies that $\alpha=2.5$ $\times 10^{-3} /{ }^{\circ} C$

    statement$-2\;: R=R_{0}(1+\alpha \Delta t)$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $\Delta T$ is small and $\Delta R=\left(R-R_{0}\right) < < R_{0}$
