As we discussed in

I\:=\:\frac{\varepsilon }{R+r}

IR+2r=\varepsilon

given

R=10\omega\:\:\:\:\:\:r=?

\varepsilon =2.1V\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:I=0.24

\therefore \:\:\:0.2\times10+0.2\timesr=2.1\:\:\:\:=> 0.2r=0.1

r=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\omega


Option 1)

1.0 \Omega

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

0.2 \Omega

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

0.5 \Omega

This option is correct.

Option 4)

0.8 \Omega

This option is incorrect.
