 P = Power = i2R = i2ρIπr2
As, i through all the wires is same.
    PρIr2 PA:PB:PC=ρA'ArA2:ρB'BrB2:ρC'CrC2=4:32:13=24:9:2         PA=24P0,PB=9P0,PC=2P0 PBPC=Geometric mean of  PB and PC =9P02P0=18P0     PAPBPC=24P018P0=42
By ohm’s law in microscopic form.
J=σE       iπr2=EρEρr2 EA:EB:EC=ρArA2:ρPrB2:ρCrC2=24:34:19=72:27:4       EA=72E0,EB=27E0,EC=4E0      EB2EAEC=27272×4=8132       32EB2=81EAEC 
Drift speed v is related to current i by the relation,
 v=iNeA=iNeπr2v1Nr2
 VA:VB:VC=1:18:127=216:27:8
Also, potential difference,
 V=IR=IρIπr2VρIr2
 VA:VB:VC=4:32:13=24:9:2
