A 20 V d.c. supply is connected to a circuit consisting of five resistors L, M, N, P and Q. [circuit diagram] There is a potential drop of 7 V across L and a further 4 V potential drop across N. What are the potential drops across M, P and Q?

1. Apotential drop across M / V: 9; potential drop across P / V: 7; potential drop across Q / V: 13
2. Bpotential drop across M / V: 13; potential drop across P / V: 7; potential drop across Q / V: 13
3. Cpotential drop across M / V: 13; potential drop across P / V: 11; potential drop across Q / V: 9
4. Dpotential drop across M / V: 17; potential drop across P / V: 3; potential drop across Q / V: 17
