When getting the Thevenin voltage the RL is deemed as open, and since it is open then no current would flow into the 800-ohm resistor making the circuit a series connection between the 400, 200 and 600-ohm resistors.

The Thevenin voltage is equal to the voltage drop in the 600-ohm resistor since the connection is in series we can use the voltage divider formula Vth = (12V) (600) / (600+400+200) = 6V.

Current flowing in loop 1 is,
-200I-600I-400I+12 = 0.

This implies, I=0.01A

Vth= 0.01A * 600 Ohms = 6V.

Hence the correct option is [A]
