The figure alongside shows a circuit diagram having a battery of 24 V and negligible resistance. Calculate 1.reading of ammeter 2) p.d across each resistor

Dear Student 

As the image is not clear I'm taking resistance as R1= 1Ω parallel resistances as R2 = 6​Ω R3=6​Ω  and last resitance R4 = 4​Ω 

Now
 1Rparallel= 16+16Rparalle = 3ΩReq= 3 + 4 +1 = 8Ω 

V= IR
So I = V/Req 
I = 24/8 = 3A

so Ammeter reading = 3A 
now voltage across 
VR1= IR1 = 3×1 = 3V VR4=IR4 = 3×4 = 12 VVR2 =VR3 = VRparalle= IRparallel = 3×3 = 9 V

Regards
