3NADH are produced in one cycle.
1NADH = 3ATPs.

2FADH2 are produced in one cycle.
1FADH2 = 2ATPs.

3*3 NADH =9.
1*2 FADH2 = 2.
9+1=11.
Hence 11 ATPs will be produced.

The FADH2 and NADH produced by the oxidation of one acetyl-CoA results in the synthesis of about;

3 NADH are produced = 7.3 ATPs.
1 FADH2 is produced = 1.5 ATP,

Total ATPs produced = 9 ATP.

This is very different from the total number of ATPs produced in TCA which is:

3NADH + 1FADH2 + 1 ATP = 10 ATPs.

From one acetyl coA 12 ATP are produced.
