Dear student 
The current drawn fron the battery = V/Req 
So, The current = 20/6.5 = 3.07A 
Voltage drop across 1.5 ohm = 3.07 *1.5 = 4.61 V 
Let ptential at point B =0 
So Potential at point A = 15.39V 
Apply voltage divider 
Vp = 15.39 * 3 /5 = 9.234 V 
Vq = 15.39 * 2/5 = 6.156V 
So, Vp – Vq = 9.234 – 6.156 = 3.07 V 
Hope this helps
