The correct answer is:
Given circuit below

Resistance between and on the right-hand side of the circuit
because are in parallel with .
Resistance between and on the right-hand side of the circuit.
because (equivalent resistance of and ) is in series with and .
Hence, resistance between and will be
Equivalent resistance of the circuit,
Current drawn from the battery,
At the junction , the current of is divided equally between the resistance and the remaining circuit of the resistance.
At the junction , the current of is divided equally between the resistor and remaining circuit of resistance .
Current through the resistor .
