1 amp current is flowing through 5 ohm resistor.
We know that in case of parallel connection, the p.d. across each resistor is same and is equal to the voltage applied.
Therefore, applied voltage, V = IR = 1 x 5 = 5V
Current through 4 ohm resistor = V/R = 5/4 = 1.25 A
Current through 10 ohm resistor = V/R = 5/10
= 0.5 A
