\Rightarrow 1=i_{\mathrm{g}}\left(\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{R}_{1}\right)

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 2=i_{\mathrm{g}}\left(\mathrm{R}_{1}+\mathrm{R}_{2}+\mathrm{G}\right)\\ &\text Divide \ { (1) } \ by \ (2)\\ &\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{G+R_{1}}{G+R_{1}+R_{2}}\\ &\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{R}_{1}+\mathrm{R}_{2}=2 \mathrm{G}+2 \mathrm{~h}\\ &\left(\mathrm{R}_{2}=\mathrm{G}+\mathrm{R}_{1}\right) \end{aligned}
