  2. B 8 : 1
  3. C 1 : 2
  4. D 2 : 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 8 : 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( R = \frac{V^2}{P} \) \( R_1 = \frac{(200 \text{ V})^2}{100 \text{ W}} = 400 \, \Omega \) \( R_2 = \frac{(100 \text{ V})^2}{200 \text{ W}} = 50 \, \Omega \) \( \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{400}{50} = 8 \)
