    V₅ = 20 V

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Total voltage, V = 120 V

    Given that resistor are connected in series that is why the total voltage drop will be summation of voltage drop in the all resistor.

    V₁=Voltage drop on first resistor

    V₂=Voltage drop on second resistor

    V₃=Voltage drop on third resistor

    V₄=Voltage drop on forth resistor

    V₅=Voltage drop on fifth resistor

    Therefore

    V = V₁+V₂+V₃+V₄+V₅

    120 = 35 + 28 + 22 + 15 + V₅

    V₅ = 20 V

    Therefore the voltage drop on the fifth resistor will be 20 V.
