I=(12-9)/150=0.02mA

voltage at B =9V + 0.02mA*(47+27+56)K ohm= 9V+2.6V= 11.6V

I=(12-9)/150=0.02mA

voltage at C =9V + 0.02mA*(47+27+56)K ohm= 9V+2.6V= 11.6V

OR

voltage at C =12V - 0.02mA*(20)K ohm= 12V-.4V= 11.6V

V1 = 9*20/150 = 1.2

V2 = 12*130/150 = 10.4

VC = 10.4+1.2=11.6

I=(12-9)/150=0.02mA

voltage at C =9V + 0.02mA*(47+27+56)k ohm = 9V+2.6V= 11.6V

OR

voltage at C =12V - 0.02mA*(20)K ohm= 12V-.4V= 11.6V is the right answer

Why 12-9 instead of 12+9? Please explain briefly and clearly.

12v - 4v = 11.6 what is this?

It is not 4, it is 0.4.

@Armandwish.

12-9 because both the voltage source has the same polarity and hence their net potential is the difference between them. For a further explanation, you can see it by applying KVL to the circuit.

Apply KVL,

(Vc - 9V)/(47 K Ohm + 27 K Ohm + 56 K Ohm) = (Vc - 12 V)/(20 K Ohm).
(Vc - 9V)/(130 K Ohm) = (Vc - 12 V)/(20 K Ohm).

By Cross-multiplying we get,
(130 K Ohm) * (Vc - 12 V) = (20 K Ohm) * (Vc - 9 V).

Finally we get,
Vc = (1740 * 10^3) / (150* 10^3).
Vc = 11.6 V.
