 We can take into account the relationship between power and resistance.,

 i.e.  Power = voltage 2 resistance 

The voltage across the resistors will be the same because they are linked in parallel. As a result of this relationship, power and resistance are inversely related.

Thus, P1P2=R2R1=19

As a result, the power dissipated is in the ratio is 1:9.
