Series-Parallel Circuits

Q1: The parallel combination of a 470  resistor and a 1.2 k resistor is in series with the parallel combination of three 3 k resistors. A 200 V source is connected across the circuit. The resistor with the most current has a value of

A 470  or 1.2 k

B 3 k

C 470 

D 1.2 k

ANS:C - 470

As per question 1.2 k ohm and 470 ohm resistor are in series with three 3 k ohm resistor is correct but before that they are parallel with each other so the current will divide in both 1.2 k ohm and 470 ohm resistor according to their value and we know that lower the resistor higher the current value so the 470 ohm is correct answer.
