Detailed Solution

Since it is a balanced Wheatstone bridge, current through galvanometer is zero.

resistances 2ohm and 4ohm are in series and so are 3ohm and 6 ohm

Therefore, effectively 6ohms and 9ohms resistances are in parallel.

Currents i1 and i2 are in the ratio 9 : 6. 

Effective resistance of the bridge is 

Reff=9×69+6=3.6ohm

Current i in circuit is

i = 63.6+0.4=1.5A

i1 = 3i5=0.9A

i2 = 2i5=0.6A
