The potential difference across`8Omega` resistance is 48V as shown in the figure. The value of potential difference across X and Y point will be

Options

A. 160 V
B. 126V
C. 80 V
D. 62 V

Answer

A

Explanation

`R_(eq)=10+6+3+1=20 omega`
Current through `8 Omega`
`=48/24=4A`
Current through `24 Omega`
`=48/24=2A`
Total current =6+2=8A
Potential difference across x and y =8x 20=160 V.
