Solution

The correct option is C 10 A
For the wheatstone bridge part, the bridge resistance can be ignored. For this part, we have two branches each having two 5 ohm resistors.
1RW=1R1+1R2

where, R1=R2=5+5=10 Ω because they are in series.

Hence, RW=5 Ω

The wheatstone bridge is parallel to a 5 ohm resistor. Hence total equivalent resistance,
1Req=1RW+15

Req=2.5 Ω

I=VR=252.5=10 A
