Explanation

Observe the given the three circiut diagrams.in this three circuits identical voltage sources .It's mean in case voltage sources are in series we can add each other for getting total voltage value.but here the voltage sources are parallel (in parallel voltages are same) so no difference in voltages .Given above three diagrams have equal voltages. And also bulbs also identical in three diagrams.so same current is flowing in three circuits (Ia=Ib=Ic).
