R = 2/2+1/2.
R = 3/2.
R = 2/3.
R = 0.6668.
P = I2R.
P = 3*3*0.6668.
P = 6(approximately).
R = 3/2.
R = 2/3.
R = 0.6668.
P = I2R.
P = 3*3*0.6668.
P = 6(approximately).

P = VI.....1.
V = IR......2.
Substitute above equation in 1,
we get P = I^2*R.
R = 2*1/2+1,
R = 2/3,
P = (3*10^-3)^2*(2/3)*10^3 ohm,
p = 6mW.
V = IR......2.

Power=Voltage * Current.
Voltage= Current * Resistance,
Resistors in parallel (1/R=1/R1+1/R2) OR (R=R1*R2/R1+R2),
so, 1/R= 1/2+1/1 = 3/2KOhm , R= 2/3 KOhm,
P=V*I = (I*R)* I.
P= I*I*R,
P=3*3*2/3,
P=9*2/3,
P=18/3,
P=6mW.

1/R = 1/2+1/1.
1/R = 1+2/2.
R = 2/3 Kohm.
V = i*R.
V = 3 mA*2/3 Kohm.
V = 2 v.
P = V*I.
P = 2v*3 mA.
P = 6 mW.
1/R = 1+2/2.
R = 2/3 Kohm.
V = i*R.
V = 3 mA*2/3 Kohm.
V = 2 v.
P = V*I.
P = 2v*3 mA.
P = 6 mW.

Simply,
Low resistance = Higher current flow.
So, we get applied voltage by dividing current in the ratio
2k/1k = 3mA.
1k = 2mA and 2k = 1mA.
Hence, applied voltage is 2V.
Now, we have I = 3mA, V = 2v.
P = V * I.
= 2 * 3mA.
= 6mA.
ANSWER 'C' IS CORRECT.

Actually power( P) = I^2(R).
By using this, we can solve the problem.

Two parallel resistor so equivalent resistor is 2/3 and also current 3 mA. So power loss is (p = Isquare R) 9 * 2/3 = 6 mA.
