As we know the resistance of the resistor is directly proportional to its length
So let us assume the resistance of the first wire to be R then resistance of the second wire is 2R and resistance of third wire is 3R
In question it is not given that resistor are connected in parallel or series. I am assuming it is connected in parallel.
Let's say the voltage to be V
Current in first wire = V/R
Current in second wire =  V/2R
Current in third wire = V/3R
So here we can see current is inversely proportional to resistance of the wire that means lowest resistance will have higher current and higher resistance will have lowest current 
So current in first wire would be  = 30/11 A
Current in second wire  = 15/11 A
Current in third wire = 10/11 A

Plssss answer..... Assertion: Magnetic field lines never intersect each other. Reason: If they intersect, then at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is not possible.
