Solution

The correct option is C $2 A$
$- i_{1} + 0 \times i_{x y} + 3 i_{2} = 0, i.e., i_{1} = 3 i_{2} . . . (i)$
Also $- 2 (i_{1} - i_{x y}) + 4 (i_{2} + i_{x y}) = 0$
$\Rightarrow 2 i_{1} - 4 i_{2} = 6 i_{x y} . . . (i i)$
Also $V_{A B} = 1 \times i_{1} + 2 (i_{1} - i_{x y}) = 0 \Rightarrow 50 = i_{1} + 2 (i_{1} - i_{x y})$
$= 3 i_{1} - 2 i_{x y} . . . (i i i)$
Solving (i), (ii) and (iii), $i_{x y} = 2 A$
