My first answer is also zero, but if you follow the principle behind resistance in series connection, V1=V2=V3=Vn, so 6v=voltage in resistor=voltage in inductor.

For dc inductor acts as a short cicuit. So voltage across inductor is zero.
Then how the voltage across inductor is 6v?
Then how the voltage across inductor is 6v?

As the nature of inductor is to oppose the change of current through it, it initially opposes the current flow through it. Thereby it acts as an open circuit. & total drop appears at inductor.

At t=0 inductor behave as open ckt and 6v dro across it.
