Explanation :

The resistance of the flashlight is 2.4 ohms

The current flowing in the circuit is 2.5 A

The Ohm's law gives the relation between the following quantities i.e.

Current

voltage

and resistance

Mathematically, Ohm's law can be written as :

V =I R


V=2.5\ A* 2.4\ \Omega


V=6\ Volts

The voltage applied by the batteries is 6 volts.

Hence, this is the required solution.
