Hey there ....
here is your ans-
In oxidative decarboxylation we will get 1 NADH2 means 3 ATP.
In kreb cycle we get 3 NADH2 ( 9 ATP ), 1 FADH2 ( 2 ATP ) and 1 ATP.
TOTAL = 3 ATP + 9 ATP + 2 ATP + 1 ATP
= 15 ATP
Therefore, the net gain of ATP in krebs cycle if the substrate is 1 pyruvic acid is 15 ATP .
