Dear student
Equivalent voltage of battery = 4 -2 = 2 volt
Now equivalent resistance = 4+6 = 10 ohm
4 ohm in upper arm will have no current as current will not pass through it because current will pass thriugh least resistance branch.
Now current = 2/10 = 0.2 amp in 4 ohm and 6 ohm

4ohm resistance has short circuit. so current through 4 ohm is zero.
net EMF = 4-2 = 2V
current through 4 and 6 ohm = 2/10 = 0.2A
Hope it clears.
