image

  1. A 25
  2. B 30
  3. C 22
  4. D 50
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 22

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)
Let potential at B be V .
image
for A and B ,
\(V-40=\frac{Q}{2}\quad \quad \ldots \ldots(1)
\)
for B and C,
\(
10-V=\frac{Q}{3} \quad \quad \ldots \ldots(2)
\)
from equation (i) and (ii)
\(
\begin{array}{r}
2(V-40)=3(10-V) \\
2 V-80=30-3 V \\
2 V+3 V=30+80
\end{array}
\)
\(\begin{aligned} 5 V & =110 \\ V & =\frac{110}{5} \\ V & =22 V\end{aligned}\)
