Two heaters A and B are in parallel across supply voltage V. Heater A produces 757 kcal in 20 min and B produces 1252 kcal in 10 min. The resistance of A is 10 ohm. What is the resistance of B in kiloohms? If the same heaters are connected in series across the voltage V, how much heat would be produced in calories in 5 minutes?
