6 (a) Use the formula P=IV
        so make I subject of the formula I=P/V
        substitute the values I=(1.5*1000)/240
        :. I=6.25
        now use V=IR
        Make R subject of the formula R=V/I
        Substitute the values R=240/6.25
        :. R=38.4 ohms

6 (b) 1st is open so power supply so that is zero
        2nd from the first the power is supplied so it will move to s2 but s3 is closed so it will not move from s3
              so only of s2 which is 1.5kW so for second it is 1.5kW
        3rd the power is supplied from s2 and s3 so both are added 1.5kW+1.5kW=3kW


i dont understand the 4th and the 5th anybody else who can tell about them plz you may tell

4th - Current flows through A and B (not the part of the junction with S2 as it has infinite resistance)
        R = 38.4ohms, V one heater receives is 120V , P =  V^2/R = 120^2/38.4 = 375W
        Thus, for two heaters = 375*2 = 750W or 0.75kW
5th - Current flows through all heaters. Power in A and B as calculated previously = 0.75kW
       Power in C = V^2/R = 240^2/38.4 = 1.5kW
Total - 1.5 + 0.75 = 2.25kW
