Summation equals to zero that's why answer is zero.

If we consider above statment as kvl, here niether mention about the direction nor algebric sum of the voltages.

In series circuit applied voltage equal to algebraic sum of individual voltage drop in each resistors which are connected ina circuit.

Voltage source have posiive polarities and drops will be considered negative so appling kvl sum will be 0.

@pearl: KVL is Vs1+Vs2+....=VD
IF VD is negative then VS=-VD gives VS+VD cannot be equal to Zero
Thats Wrong..KVL says that Sum of INCOMING voltages is Equal to Outgoing
IF VD is negative then VS=-VD gives VS+VD cannot be equal to Zero
Thats Wrong..KVL says that Sum of INCOMING voltages is Equal to Outgoing

VS : Source voltage.
VD : Voltage drops.
VS = -VD.
So VS+VD = 0.
VD : Voltage drops.
VS = -VD.
So VS+VD = 0.

The question ought to be technical enough to prevent different answers. To me adding all the voltage drops and the source voltage gives twice the source voltage unless the word 'algebraic sum' is used. Engineers pay much attention to detail.

Very good @Richmond, the word algebraic sum should be added for this answer unless it is wrong answer @Vishal.
