Step 1:
\Two cells are connected in the parallel.
\The emf of the first cell is 10 V.
\The internal resistance of the first cell is 3
.
The emf of the second cell is 12 V.
\The internal resistance of the second cell is 5
.
Load resistance is 30
.
Draw a circuit with above specifications :

Step 2:
\Find the current through the load.
\Thevenins Theorem :
\Thevenins Theorem states that it is possible to simplify any linear circuit, no matter how complex, to an equivalent circuit with just a single voltage source and series resistance connected to a load.
\Now reduce the circuit to a equivalent Thevenins circuit .
\Find the Equivalent Resistance (Rs):
\Find the Thevenin resistance by removing all power sources in the original circuit (voltage sources shorted and current sources open) and calculating total resistance between the open connection points.
\
3Ω Resistor in parallel with the 5Ω Resistor .
\So thevenins resistance
\
Find the Equivalent Voltage (Vs):
\Find the Thevenin source voltage by removing the load resistor from the original circuit and calculating voltage across the open connection points where the load resistor used to be.
\
Apply KVL to the above circuit .
\ 
So the voltage drop across the 30 Ω resistor can be calculated as:
\
Therefore the Thevenins Equivalent circuit is shown below with the 30 Ω resistor connected.
