This question is just like the working of a Simple Rheostat.
For example our battery is being converted into 2-steps of voltages by taking the connection points (or simply taps). As given below;
Step-1: Take the conncection or tap just after the first resistance>>
So Vout=6 * 2.2k/(3*2.2)k= 2V.
Step-2: Take the tap just after 2 resistors i.e.
vout=6* (2.2k+2.2k)/(3*2.2)k= 4 V.
So sol is 2, 4 V.
