Answer

$R=994$ ohm

Work Step by Step

Let the direction of current be counter-clockwise, then according to the loop rule: $-\epsilon_1-ir_1-iR-ir_2+\epsilon_2=0$ $-\epsilon_1-ir_1-ir_2+\epsilon_2=iR$ $R=\frac{\epsilon_2-\epsilon_1-i(r_1+r_2)}{i}$ Putting the values in the formula and solving: $R=\frac{3-2-1\times10^{-3}(3+3)}{1\times10^{-3}}$ $R=994$ ohm
