Detailed Solution

Current will flow from higher to lower potential.Before connecting wire from A to B, voltage drop across 4  Ω =  V ×  44+4 =V2Voltage drop across 1  Ω =  V ×  11+3 =V4∴     voltage drop at  A=V−V2=V2  and voltage drop at B=V−V4=3V4So, VB > VAHence, on connecting wire between points A and B, the current will flow from B to A.
