Detailed Solution

The thermal energy will be in the ratio of 1:2
The resistor of resistance R ohm and 2R ohm are given
Now, current in series combination is same through its components. Let the current I flow through R as well as through 2R.
We know.
Thermal energy across resistor in time t sec = I2Rt
Let H1 and H2 be thermal energy across R and 2R respectively
H1 = I2Rt     and    H2 = I2(2R)t
Now,             H1H2 = I2 RtI2 2Rt = 12
