1 Ampere

Step-by-step explanation:

1/R = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12
1/R = (30 + 24 + 20) / 240
1/R = 74 / 240
R = 240 / 37
R = 120/37 Ohms
We know that,
V = IR
I = V/R
I = 12 / (120/37)
I = 12 × 37/120
I = 37/10
I = 3.7 A
Now,
The current in 12 ohm resistor →
= 1 A
∴ The current in 12 ohm resistor is​ 1 ampere
