= 330.562 mA
but this means incorrect proof.
Anyone can help please?

Note the 2 Ω resistance in series with the inductor. The branch is not purely reactive in nature. The current through that branch will not be purely 90° out of phase with the current through the resistor branch.

Can you find the phase angle of the impedance of that branch?
