SOLUTION :( a ) Suppose, we replace the parallel resistors `R_1 and R_2` by an eqUivalent resistor of resistance, R.. Similarly we replace the parallel resistors `R_3,R_4 and R_5`by an eqUivalent single resistor of resistance R". Then using equation of equivalent resistance of parallel combination of resistances,
we have `1/(R.) = 1/10 +1/40 =5/40 , " that is " R. = 8 OMEGA`

Similarly, `1/(R.) = 1/30 + 1/20 + 1/60 + 6/60` , that is,`R.. =1 0Omega`
Thus, the total resistance,R = R. + R.. = `18 Omega`
( b ) To CALCULATE teh current, we use the Ohm.s law, and get
`I = V/R =(12V)/(18Omega) = 0.67 A`.
