The voltage from one side of the battery all the way around to the other side of the battery is 12v .
If 4 of those volts show up across the circle-thing, then the rest of the 12v ... 8v ... Must show up across the set of parallel rectangles.
To get that answer, I subtracted the 4 from the 12.
Just like it says in choice-C.
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Length of beam, (L) = 5.50 m
Weight of the beam, (
) = 332 N
Weight of the Suki, (
) = 505 N
After crossing the left support of the beam by the suki then at some overhang distance the beam starts o tip. And, this is the maximum distance we need to calculate. Therefore, at the left support we will set up the moment and equate it to zero.

= 0
x = 
= 
= 0.986 m
Hence, the suki can come (2 - 0.986) m = 1.014 from the end before the beam begins to tip.
Thus, we can conclude that suki can come 1.014 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip.
