The Diagram shown in the question represents the balanced wheatstone bridge. It satisfy the condition of balanced wheat stone bridge.
Multiplication of dimensionally opposite resistance is same.
2×2=2×2⇒4=4
When the circuit is balanced wheat stone bridge then current through the branch BD is zero, so it can be removed.
Now, after removing BD wire voltage across AC is 8V.
So, current will be,
i2=4+48=1A
