Answer

$P_{20} = 45W$ $P_5 = 20W$

Work Step by Step

power dissipated by $10\Omega$ $ P= I^2R = \frac{V_{10}^2}{R}$ $ 40W = I^2 *10\Omega$ $ \implies I^2 = 4$ $\implies I=2A$ and $ 40W = \frac{V^2}{10\Omega}$ $ V_{10}^2 = 400W\Omega$ $V_{10} = 20V$ but current is same for $5\Omega $ band $10\Omega$ thus power dissipated by $5\Omega$ $P_5 = I^2R = 2^2 *5 W = 20W$ also $P_5 = \frac{V_5^2}{R}4$ $V_5^2 = 20* 5 V^2$ $V_5 = 10V$ now $V_{20} = V_5 + V_{10}$ $ V_{20} = 10V +20V =30V P_{20} = \frac{V_{20}^2 }{20}$ $P_{20} = \frac{30^2}{20}W$ $P_{20} = 45W$
