The correct answer is: $1 \cdot 4 \mathrm{~A},-0 \cdot 6 \mathrm{~A}, 0 \cdot 4 \mathrm{~A}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Given } & \mathrm{I}_{1}=-0.4 \mathrm{~A}, \mathrm{I}_{4}=1 \mathrm{~A}, \mathrm{I}_{5}=0.4 \mathrm{~A} \\
& \mathrm{I}_{1}+\mathrm{I}_{2}=\mathrm{I}_{4} \\
\therefore \mathrm{I}_{2} &=\mathrm{I}_{4}-\mathrm{I}_{1}=1-(-0.4)=1.4 \\
\mathrm{I}_{5} &=\mathrm{I}_{3}+\mathrm{I}_{4} \\
\therefore \mathrm{I}_{3} &=\mathrm{I}_{5}-\mathrm{I}_{4}=0.4-1=-0.6 \mathrm{~A} \\
\mathrm{I}_{6} &=\mathrm{I}_{1}+\mathrm{I}_{2}+\mathrm{I}_{3} \\
&=-0.4 \mathrm{~A}+1.4-0.6=0.4 \mathrm{~A}
\end{aligned}
