This circuit actually forms a Wheatstone bridge.

Since resistance of voltage is 400Ω, resistance viewed by voltmeter R0.

\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{0}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{V}}}\\ &\mathrm{Rv}=400 \Omega, \mathrm{R}=400 \Omega\\ &\Rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{0}=200 \Omega \end{aligned}

Now we see there is a wheat stone bridge formed.

Hence, the middle $100 \Omega$ can be ignored.

\Rightarrow V_{400 \Omega}=\frac{200}{200+100} \times 10=\frac{20}{3} V$.
