B$2$
b (b) ${R_{eq}} = 5\,\Omega $, Current $i = \frac{{10}}{5} = 2\,A$ and current in each branch = $1\,A$
Potential difference between $C$ and $A$,
${V_C} - {V_A} = 1 \times 1 = 1\,V$ .......$(i)$
Potential difference between $C$ and $B$,
${V_C} - {V_B} = 1 \times 3 = 3\,V$......$(ii)$
On solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$ ${V_A} - {V_B} = 2\,volt$
Shot Trick : $({V_A} - {V_B}) = \frac{i}{2}({R_2} - {R_1}) = \frac{2}{2}(3 - 1) = 2\,V$
