Answer:

Lets suppose that two resistors are connected in series across an 18 V supply and a current of 5 A flowsand one of the resistors has the value of 2.4 kΩ the second resistor will have a resistance of 1.2kΩ

Explanation:]

Total resistance, Rt =
(18)/(5) = 3.6 kΩ , hence R X= 3.6 – 2.4 = 1.2kΩ
