(a, b, c, d)

given V C = 0, in AEFC V A – 20 = V C
⇒ V A = 20 V Ans
by KCL, at point D
2 (V A – V D ) + 2 (V B – V D ) + 4 (V C – V D ) = 0
2 (V A – V D ) + 2 (V B – V D ) = 4 V D ..... (i) Ans
by KCL, at point
4 (V A – V B ) + 2 (V D – V B ) + 2 (V C – V B ) = 0
4 (V A – V B ) + 2 (V B – V D ) = 2V B ......(ii) Ans
adding eq (i) and (ii)
2 (V A – V D ) + 2 (V B – V D ) + 4 (V A – V B ) + 2 (V B – V D ) = 4V D + 2 V B
⇒ 6V A = 6 V D + 6V B
⇒ V A = V D + V B
