Show your attempted solution and you'll get help.

Hint: Use Kirchhoff's circuit laws
 
your simplified diagram is wrong. use kirchhoffs law, there is no shortcut, as it is neither a wheatsotone bridge nor symmetrical circuit.
 
Note the OP was nearly 2 years ago.

Hopefully he has arrived at a solution by now.
