Potential difference across 10Ω=V=IR=2×10=20 volts10\Omega=V=IR=2\times 10 =20\ volts

As the resistors are in parallel, therefore potential difference across all resistors will be same.

\therefore Current in 12Ω=2012A12\Omega=\frac{20}{12} A

Current in 15Ω=2015A15\Omega=\frac{20}{15}A

So, total current =(2+2012+2015)A=120+100+8060=5A=(2+\frac{20}{12}+\frac{20}{15})A=\frac{120+100+80}{60}=5A
