[(i) 11, (ii) 19]
Sol Applying Kirchhoff ’ s second law in loop ADBA:

2 – 2i 1 – i 1 – 1 – 2(i 1 – i 2 ) = 0 .........
Similarly applying Kirchhoff ’ s second law in loop BDCB
2(i 1 – i 2 ) + 3 – 3i 2 – i 2 – 1 = 0.........
Solving Equation and we get,
i 1 =
, i 2 =
and i 1 – i 2 = – 
(i) Potential difference between B and D.
V B + 2(i 1 – i 2 ) = V D
V B – V D = – 2(i 1 – i 2 ) =
volt
(ii) V G = E G – i 2 r G = 3 –
× 3 =
volt
V H = E H + i 2 r H = 1 +
× 1 =
volt
