Answer #1

Solution,

when the switch is open :

current throgh A will be V/R and current throght B and C will be V / (2R)

hence iA is 2 times iB and iC and iB = iC

so ranking is: A then (B and C)

B) when the switch is closed :

C will be shorted and iC is nearly zero

so iA nearly equals iB

so ranking is : A , B , C
