JEE Main 2021 (Online) 24th February Morning Shift Physics - Current Electricity Question 207 English Explanation
The current through the circuit,

$$I = {{{\varepsilon _1} - {\varepsilon _2}} \over {{r_1} + {r_2}}} = {{6 - 4} \over {10}} = {1 \over 5}A$$

$$\therefore$$ Potential difference across points X and Y is

$${V_{XY}} = {E_2} + I{r_2} = 4 + {1 \over 5} \times 8 = 5.6V$$
