Detailed Solution

In the first loop which contains VA, The current is given by:

I=VAR1+RI=12500+100I=0.02A

Since negative terminal of battery is considered at zero voltage. Now voltage at the intersection point between R and R1 is given by:

V = IR 

V = 0.02×100

V = 2V

So for battery VB of electric potential 2V there will be no current flowing through the galvanometer as voltage difference between these points is zero.
