(b)

$\therefore 4 i _1+2\left( i _1+ i _2\right)-3+4 i _1=16\, V$

Using Kirchhoff's second law in the closed loop we have

$9-i_2-2\left(i_1+i_2\right)=0$

Solving equations $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get $i _1=1.5 A ^{\text {and } i _2}=2 A$

$\therefore$ current through $2 W$ resistor $=2+1.5=3.5\,A$.
