Correct answer: C

The power dissipated in the circuit

P=V2ReqP = {{{V^2}} \over {{R_{eq}}}}P=Req​V2​    ...(i)

v = 10 volt

1Req=1R+15=5+R5R{1 \over {{R_{eq}}}} = {1 \over R} + {1 \over 5} = {{5 + R} \over {5R}}Req​1​=R1​+51​=5R5+R​

Req=(5R5+R){R_{eq}} = \left( {{{5R} \over {5 + R}}} \right)Req​=(5+R5R​)

P = 30 W
Substituting the values in equation (i)

30=(10)2(5R5+R)30 = {{{{\left( {10} \right)}^2}} \over {\left( {{{5R} \over {5 + R}}} \right)}}30=(5+R5R​)(10)2​

15R5+R=10{{15R} \over {5 + R}} = 105+R15R​=10

15R = 50 + 10R

5R = 50

R = 10 Ω\Omega Ω
