Solution

The correct option is A 30 A
Given:
EMF, E=12 V;
Internal resistance, r=0.4 Ω

The maximum current is drawn from the battery when the external resistance in the circuit is zero, i.e., R=0.

Thus, Imax = Er = 120.4 = 30 A

So, option (c) is right.
Why is question ?
The maximum current is drawn from the battery when the external resistance in the circuit is zero.
