    Find the currents I₁, I₂, I₃ using mesh analysis.
    Question

    Find the currents I₁, I₂, I₃ using mesh analysis.

    A.

    5/9 A, 20/9 A, 10/9 A

    B.

    55/9 A, 10/9 A, 20/9 A

    C.

    55/9 A, 20/9 A, 5/9 A

    D.

    20/9 A, 10/9 A, 55/9 A

    Correct option is C

    Applying kVL on mesh (1), (2) and (3) respectively we have,

    202I12I1+2I2=04I12I2=20(1)(2+2+1+1)I22I12I3=06I22I12I3=0(2)(2+2+4)I32I2=08I3=2I2(3)I3=I2420 - 2I_1 - 2I_1 + 2I_2 = 0\\4I_1 - 2I_2 = 20 \qquad (1)\\(2 + 2 + 1 + 1)I_2 - 2I_1 - 2I_3 = 0\\6I_2 - 2I_1 - 2I_3 = 0 \qquad (2)\\(2 + 2 + 4)I_3 - 2I_2 = 0\\8I_3 = 2I_2 \qquad (3)\\I_3 = \frac{I_2}{4}

    Substitute the value of I3 in equation (2)6I22I12(I24)=011I24I1=0(4)Solving equation (1) and (4) we getI1=559 AandI2=209 AFrom equation (3) we getI3=59 A\text{Substitute the value of } I_3 \text{ in equation (2)}\\6I_2 - 2I_1 - 2\left(\frac{I_2}{4}\right) = 0\\11I_2 - 4I_1 = 0 \qquad (4)\\\text{Solving equation (1) and (4) we get}\\I_1 = \frac{55}{9} \text{ A}\\\text{and} \quad I_2 = \frac{20}{9} \text{ A}\\\text{From equation (3) we get}\\I_3 = \frac{5}{9} \text{ A}\\​​
