Solution
The correct option is ER2andR3 only A voltmeter reads the potential difference across its two ends. Since the same ends are the ends of both resistors R2(potential drop across an ideal ammeter is zero) and R3, the read of potential difference would also be the potential difference across them. Hence the correct answer is option E.
