Applying Kirchhoff law

$(2+2)=(0.1+0.3+0.2)$ $\mathrm{i}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{i}=\frac{20}{3} \mathrm{A}$

Hence potential difference across $\mathrm{A}$

$=2-0.1 \times \frac{20}{3}=\frac{4}{3} \mathrm{\,V}$  [ less than $ 2 \mathrm{\,V}$]

Potential difference across

$B=2-0.3 \times \frac{20}{3}=0$
