But we have to take care that the polarity of voltage source have the same correspondence with branch current in each of the circuit. In figure (B) and figure (C), polarity of voltage source is reversed with respect to direction of branch current so V1 =V2 =V3 I1 I2 I3 I2 = I 3 = 2 A Option (C) is correct. According to reciprocity theorem in any linear bilateral network when a single voltage source Va in branch a produces a current Ib in branches b, then if the voltage source Va is removed(i.e. branch a is short circuited) and inserted in branch b, then it will produce a current Ib in branch a. So, I2 = I1 = 20 mA Option (A) is correct. According to reciprocity theorem in any linear bilateral network when a single current source Ia in branch a produces a voltage Vb in branches b, then if the current source Ia is removed(i.e. branch a is open circuited) and inserted in branch b, then it will produce a voltage Vb in branch a.
