As we learnt in 

Series Grouping -

Potential - Different

Current - Same

- wherein

 

 &

Parallel Grouping -

Potential - Same

Current - Different

- wherein

 

 P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}={I^{2}R}

 

P is maximum when R is R_{max}

 \therefore For(i)\ R_{eff}=3R\ \: \: \: (iii)\ R_{eff}=\frac{R}{3}

(iv)\ R_{eff}=\frac{3R}{2}\ \, \, \: \: (ii)\ R_{eff}=\frac{2R}{3}

\therefore Order of power 

iii <  ii < iv < i


Option 1)

III < II < IV < I

This solution is correct

Option 2)

II < III < IV < I

This solution is incorrect

Option 3)

I < IV < III < II

This solution is incorrect

Option 4)

I < III < II < IV

This solution is incorrect
