  1. A 1 : 2 : 3
  2. B 4 : 2 : 27
  3. C 6 : 4 : 9
  4. D 2 : 1 : 27
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4 : 2 : 27

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Current distribution is as shown in figure \(\therefore\) Powers are \( \begin{aligned} & P_1=I_1^2 R_1=\frac{4}{9} i^2, P_2=I_2^2 R_2=\frac{2}{9} i^2, \text { and } P_3=I_3^2 R_3=3 i^2 \\ & =\frac{27}{9} i^2 . \\ & \Rightarrow \quad P_1: P_2: P_3:: 4: 2: 27 \end{aligned} \)
