    Dear student, the EMF of the source is not given, so I assumed it 12 V (by looking at the options).

    EMF of the source E = 12 V
    There are two parallel branches of resistances (16+8=24 ohm, and 4+8=12 ohm) across the source.

    For first branch (R_total ...

    Solution Summary

    There are two parallel branches of resistances (16+8=24 ohm, and 4+8=12 ohm) across the source.
