The correct answer is:
$34 \mathrm{~V}$

Using KCL
At point $A$
Current is $3 \mathrm{~mA}$
At point $C$
Current is $8 \mathrm{~mA}$
At point $E$
Current is $21 \mathrm{~mA}$
At point $G$
Current through $\mathrm{GH}$ is 34 ma
$\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{PQ}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{GH}}=\mathrm{i} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{GH}} \\
=34 \mathrm{~V}
\end{array}$
