In a parallel connection, the voltage is same in every branch.
Now, three three resistors connected in parallel.
R1 = 2k ohm
R2 = 6k ohm
R3 = 10k ohm
in parallel, net resisitance =
( R_(1)R_(2)R_(3) )/(R_(1)R_(2) + R_(2)R_(3) + R_(3)R_(1))

Now, putting the values, we get, R net = 1.30 k ohm.
Ans, voltage = 100 VDC
Thus, power =
