Power of the heater P= 1000 \mathrm{~W}

Potential difference V= 100 \mathrm{~V}

Therefore, resistance    \mathrm{R_1=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{100 \times 100}{1000}=10 \Omega}

Now resistance of the circuit is

\mathrm{R_2=10+\frac{10 R}{10+R}=\frac{100+20 R}{10+R} }

Therefore, power = \mathrm{\frac{V^2}{R_2}=625 \mathrm{~W} }

\mathrm{R_2=\frac{V^2}{625} \Rightarrow \frac{100+20 R}{10+R}=\frac{625}{100 \times 100} \Rightarrow R_2=15 \Omega }
