**Problem Statement:**

Three resistors with resistances of 2.0 Ω, 6.0 Ω, and 12 Ω are connected across an ideal DC voltage source \( V \) as shown in the figure. If the total current through the circuit, \( I \), is 4 A, what is the applied voltage \( V \)?

![Circuit Diagram](image_url) 

**Figure Description:**

The circuit diagram shows three resistors arranged in a specific configuration. 

- The 2.0 Ω and 6.0 Ω resistors are connected in parallel. 
- The 12 Ω resistor is connected in series with this parallel combination.
- The circuit is powered by a voltage source \( V \) and the total current \( I \) flows through the circuit from the voltage source.

**Options:**

- ○ 2.3 V
- ○ 1.5 V
- ○ 2.7 V
- ○ 5.3 V
- ○ 2.0 V
