Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(240\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Assuming constant voltage supply

\(P=60=\frac{V^{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}\)            .......\((1)\)

\( \text { And } P^{\prime}=\frac{V^{2}}{R_{1}}+\frac{V^{2}}{R_{2}}=\frac{2 V^{2}}{R_{1}} =4 P=4 \times 60 \)

\(=240 \,\mathrm{W} \)
