The maximum current i that each 2 \Omega can carry without being excessively heated is given by

\mathrm{i}^2(2)=18 \text { or } i=3 a m p .Hence the maximum 

current distribution can be as shown .

Hence maximum power that will be dissipated

P=(1.5)^2 \times 2 v+(1.5)^2 \times 2+(3)^2 \times 2

=9+18=27 \mathrm{~W}
