As we discussed in

R_{eq}=\frac{5R}{5+R}

Power - P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}\:=> \:30=\frac{(10^{2})}{(\frac{5R}{5+R})}

150R = 100(5+R)         =>  150R = 500+100R

R\:=\:\frac{500}{50}\:=\:10\Omega

 


Option 1)

15 \Omega

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

10 \Omega

This option is correct.

Option 3)

30 \Omega

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

20 \Omega
