Option: 1

the potential difference between X and Z is equal to that between Z and Y
 


Option: 2

the potential difference between X and Z is more than that between Z and
Y


Option: 3

the potential difference between X and Z is less than that between Z and Y
 


Option: 4

Total resistance

=\frac{6 \times 4}{6+4}+\frac{1}{\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{6}\right)}=2.4+\frac{24}{13}=2.4+1.846

V_{XZ}=2.4 \times 10=24 V

V_{ZY}=1.85 \times 10=18.5

\therefore V_{X Z}>V_{Z Y}
