Two resistances, R₁ and R₂, are connected in series across a 12-V battery. The current increases by 0.24 A when R₂ is removed, leaving R₁ connected across the battery. However, the current increases by just 0.090 A when R₁ is removed, leaving R₂ connected across the battery. Find (a) R₁ and (b) R₂.
