(a) $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}$$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{P_P}}}{{{P_S}}} = \frac{{{R_S}}}{{{R_P}}} = \frac{{({R_1} + {R_2})}}{{{R_1}{R_2}/({R_1} + {R_2})}} = \frac{{{{({R_1} + {R_2})}^2}}}{{{R_1}\,{R_2}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{100}}{{25}} = \frac{{{{({R_1} + {R_2})}^2}}}{{{R_1}{R_2}}}$$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{1}{1}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{100}}{{25}} = \frac{{{{({R_1} + {R_2})}^2}}}{{{R_1}{R_2}}}$$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{1}{1}$
