The correct option is 2

Concept:

Applying KCL at Node B

I+5 = I3 

Where I3 is the current flowing through 3 Ω resistance.

Applying KVL in the outer loop

20 - 2I -3(I3) - 3I = 0 ..................(1)

Substituting the value of I3 in eq(1) , we have:

20 - 2I - 3(5+I) -3I=0

⇒20 -2I -15-3I-3I=0

⇒8I = 5

⇒I =5/8 A
