Assume that i1 and i2 are in mA. We apply mesh analysis. For mesh 1,

-30 + 20 + 7i1 – 5i2 = 0 or 7i1 – 5i2 = 10 (1)

For mesh 2,

-20 + 9i2 – 5i1 = 0 or -5i1 + 9i2 = 20 (2)

Solving (1) and (2), we obtain, i2 = 5.

v0 = 4i2 = 20 volts.

We apply mesh analysis.

12 = 3 i1 + 8(i1 – i2) which leads to 12 = 11 i1 – 8 i2 (1)

-2 v0 = 6 i2 + 8(i2 – i1) and v0 = 3 i1 or i1 = 7 i2 (2)

From (1) and (2), i1 = 84/69 and v0 = 3 i1 = 3x84/69

v0 = 3.652 volts

Loop 1 and 2 form a supermesh. For the supermesh,

6i1 + 4i2 - 5i3 + 12 = 0 (1)

For loop 3, -i1 – 4i2 + 7i3 + 6 = 0 (2)

Also, i2 = 3 + i1 (3)

Solving (1) to (3), i1 = -3.067, i3 = -1.3333; io = i1 – i3 = -1.7333 A

For mesh 2, 20i2 – 10i1 + 4i0 = 0 (1)

But at node A, io = i1 – i2 so that (1) becomes i1 = (16/6)i2 (2)

For the supermesh, -100 + 50i1 + 10(i1 – i2) – 4i0 + 40i3 = 0

or 50 = 28i1 – 3i2 + 20i3 (3)

At node B, i3 + 0.2v0 = 2 + i1 (4)

But, v0 = 10i2 so that (4) becomes i3 = 2 + (2/3)i2 (5)

Solving (1) to (5), i2 = 0.11764,

v0 = 10i2 = 1.1764 volts, i0 = i1 - i2 = (5/3)i2 = 196.07 mA
