$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{AB}}=\frac{4}{90+110} \times 90=\frac{9}{5}$ ............$(i)$
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{AC}}=\frac{4}{40+60} \times 40=\frac{8}{5}$ .........$(ii)$
eq. $(i)$ $-$ eq. $(ii)$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{c}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{9}{5}-\frac{8}{5}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 \mathrm{\,V}$
