1 NADH oxidized to give 3ATP molecules (malate-aspartate shuttle).
On the other hand, 1 NADH oxidized to give 2ATP (in glycerol phosphate shuttle).
1 FADH2 oxidized to give 2ATP molecules.
On the other hand, 1 NADH oxidized to give 2ATP (in glycerol phosphate shuttle).
1 FADH2 oxidized to give 2ATP molecules.

The accuracy differs for every molecule of NADH oxidized, 2.5 ATPs are synthesised for every molecule of FADH oxidized, 1.5 ATPs are formed.

NADH is it reduced or oxidised in the TCA cycle?
I thought NAD+ goes into the cycle there oxidising the cycle.
I thought NAD+ goes into the cycle there oxidising the cycle.

There is 1 ATP for every 3 NADH produced. How did it become 3 ATPs for every 1 NADH?

1 molecule of NADH oxidized by the complex 1 of the ETC produced 3 molecules of ATP.

It depends on if it's malate-aspartate (3) or glycerol phosphate pathway (2).

To answer precisely, 2.5 ATP molecules are synthesized for 1 NADH molecule.

It always depend on if it's malate-aspartate or glycerol phosphate pathway.

Its the other way round, for every NADH oxidation, 3 ATPs are synthesized.

When 1 molecule of NADH is oxidised in ETS. IT produces 3 ATP.
