I also got 1.8 for the resistance first, then after finding some big mistake I fixed it and got 1.1. Icant remember exactly how I did it but others in my exam said they got the same, 1.1.
for the ones in parallel, i got 1.2 and the other one was 4.8

the resistors in parallel were 2ohms and 3ohms so you do 1/3 + 1/2 which = 5/6 then you flip it giving you 6/5 which is 1.2

After you do that you just got the resistance of the two resistors what about resistor R how are you going to get it ?
Look i used the total current and the total voltage(6v) to get the total resistance then i subtracted the total resistance from 1.2ohms and i got my answers , lets not turn this into a debate.

so u get 1.8 ohms. dats rite

yeah thats right! total was 6 so i did 6-1.2 which gave me 4.8 for resistor R
