From the given circuit, net resistances ${{\rm{R}}_I} = 1\,\Omega ,{{\rm{R}}_{{\rm{II}}}} = 1/2\,\Omega ,{{\rm{R}}_{{\rm{III}}}} = 3/2\,\Omega $
It is clear that $\mathrm{R}_{3}>\mathrm{R}_{1}>\mathrm{R}_{2}$
Hence, ${P_3} < {P_1} < {P_2}$
As Power $(P)$ $=\frac{\mathrm{V}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{P} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{R}}$
