**Question:**

What is the current passing through resistor, \( R_2 \), in the diagram below?

**Given:**
- Voltage, \( V = 50 \) volts
- \( R_1 = 5.0 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 2.0 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 4.0 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_4 = 7.0 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_5 = 5.0 \, \Omega \)

**Diagram Description:**
The circuit diagram features a combination of series and parallel resistors. 

- \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) are in series and connected directly to the voltage source \( V \).
- \( R_3 \), \( R_4 \), and \( R_5 \) form a parallel network connected between the node after \( R_2 \) and the ground.

**Options:**

a. \( 5.0 \, \text{A} \)

b. \( 2.0 \, \text{A} \)

c. \( 3.0 \, \text{A} \)

d. \( 1.0 \, \text{A} \)

e. \( 4.0 \, \text{A} \)
