The only problem is you have 2 equations and 3 unknowns, so the value of R1 and R2 would need to be lumped into one resistor.

You could attempt writing 3 meshes for 3 equations and 3 unknowns, but your current would be zero (capacitor as open), making the value of resistance a bit hard to find.

That will give you a start, since we are at a steady state.

You could find all 3 if you could find the voltage at the capacitor, but with mesh analysis, that's not available to you.

So, that is all I need to do, right? As my tutor said to just draw the corresponding current loops and write the corresponding expressions for them assuming voltage drops across the elements. Have I not done that now?

Well, lemme know if it was correct first.

Should have used node method to find the answer, but if they said use mesh, we used mesh.
