Detailed Solution

The circuit given resembles the balanced Wheatstone bridge as 46=23

Thus, middle anm containing 4  Ω resistance will be ineffective and no current flows through it.
The equivalent circuit is shown as below:

Question Image

Net resistance of AB and BC,

R'=4+2=6  Ω

Net resistance of AD and DC,

R''=6+3=9  Ω

Thus, parallel combination of R' and R" gives

R=  R'×R''R'+R''  =  6  ×  96+9  =  5415  =  185  Ω

Hence, current  i=VR=V18/5  =5V18
