If we will connect the resistors 2ohms, 3ohms, 5ohms in series and the 10ohms resistance parallel then we get equivalent resistance of 5 ohms.
The equivalent circuit is,
R equivalent for the series connection is,

The equivalent resistance is 5 ohms.
So your friend is saying true.
Answer:
a) Current = 11 mA
b) Energy = 66 mJ
c) Power = 101.54 W
Explanation:
a) Voltage, V = IR
Voltage, V = 6 V, Resistance, R = 550 Ω
Current, I 
b) Energy = Current x Voltage = 6 x 0.011 = 0.066 J = 66 mJ
c)

Particles transfer energy physically from one to the other either horizontally in a longitudinal wave, vertically in a transverse wave, or in circles in a surface wave. Waves can also be electromagnetic, which are always transverse and do not require a medium to propagate, like light waves traveling through space.
