IIT JEEIIT JEE 2012Current Electricity

Solution:

Node $P$ and $Q$ are equipotential and node $S$ and $T$ are equipotential due to formation of wheatstone bridge across them Thus, no current passes through PQ and ST $ \begin{array}{l} I _{1}=\frac{12}{4}=3 A \\ I _{2}= I _{1}\left(\frac{12}{6+12}\right)=2 A \end{array} $ now point $P$ and $Q$ are Equipotential and point $S$ and $T$ are equipotential. from resistor $P S$ current flows from $P$ to $S$ hence voltage of point $P$ is more than voltage of point $S$, also $P$ is equipotential with $Q$ that's why $Q$ also has more potential than $S$.
