two resistance 5ohm and 7ohm are joined as shown to two batteries of emf 2V and 3V . ifhe 3V battery is short circuited. what will be the current through 5ohm ?

The resistors are arranged in parallel or series ?
if in series then it is 1.6 A
if in parallel then 0.28 A

The basic funda used here is when a battery or any component is short circuited then it acts as a wire then the normal procedure can be followed

The entire current will pass throughout 3V as after short circuit it will act as wire with infinite conductivity.So we assume that no current pass through 7V .. I(5)=2 or I=2/5
