Detailed Solution

For heater A: 500×103=V2R120  ×60    …(i)

Where  R1=100  Ω

For heater B:

1000×103=V2R210  ×60        ….(ii)

From (i) and (ii), R2=25  Ω

When heaters are connected in series: 

Req=R1  +R2

Heat produced:

H=V2R1+R2  5  ×  60           …..(iii)

From (i) and (iii), H = 100 kJ
