The correct option is 3

Concept:

To find out the Thevenin’s voltage (Vth) across the a-b terminal it will be open-circuited

From the figure we may conclude that Thevenin’s voltage (Vth) across the a-b terminal will be equal to the voltage drop across 6 Ω.

Applying voltage divider across Ω:

Vth = \(\frac{9\times 6}{9}\)  = 6 V
