Detailed Solution

Here we consider that R be the resistance of voltmeter and the voltmeter is connected in parallel with 100Ω resistance.

The effective resistance with voltmeter will be R'=100R/(100+R)

Total resistance of the circuit is given as RT=2+43+100R(100+R)RT=103+100R(100+R)=1000+310R3(100+R)

Current in the circuit is given as i=1.4{1000+310R3(100+R)}0.02=(1.4){3(100+R)}1000+310RR=200Ω
