There are three branches namely Branch A, Branch B and Branch C. Branch A consists of resistor with a resistance of 10 ohms. Branch B is a 12V battery with an internal resistance of 0.1 ohm. Branch C is a 12V battery with an internal resistance of 0.5 ohm. If all of the branches are connected in parallel, what should be the power absorbed by the 10 ohm resistor? a. 12.4V b. 14.2W c. 1416.3W  d. 0.072
