Detailed Solution

Since, resistance of voltmeter  >>>  R2, it can be neglected.

R1, R2 are in series.

Current in circuit will be 

i = ER1+R2=6200+400=0.01A

Voltage across R2 is 

V = iR2=0.01×200=2V

Due to the presence of voltmeter resistance parallel to R2, there could be slight decrease in this voltage. 

So, V<2v
