R_2  and R_3  are in parallel, so equivalent  resistance =((R_2 ×R_3 )/(R_2 +R_3 ))=((4×6)/(10))=((12)/5)  Equivalent resistance is in series with 2 ohm  resistor so total resistance=2+((12)/5)=((22)/5)  current from 5V battery=((25)/(22))A  potential difference across 2 ohm resistor=((25)/(11))V  potential difference across R_2  and R_3 =5−((25)/(11))  =((30)/(11))  ammeter reading=current thru R_3 =((30)/(11))/6=(5/(11))  =.454A
