Question : (JEE MAIN (Online) 2014)

In the circuit shown, current (in A) through the 50V and 30V batteries are, respectively:

Answer :
As shown in figure, there are two batteries in a circuit and we have to find current flowing through each battery. 
We can use kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) or kirchhoff's current law (KCL) to solve this question. 
Here KVL is used to find current flowing through each battery. 
Explanation : Total three loops are considered which are I1, I2, I3.
We get three equations and after solving this we get value of I1, I2, I3.
Current through 50v is I1 (clockwise direction)
Current through 30v is I3(clockwise direction) and (-I3) (Anticlockwise direction)
