Two heaters \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) have power rating of \(1~\text{kW}\) and \(2~\text{kW}\), respectively. Those two are first connected in series and then in parallel to a fixed power source. The ratio of power outputs for these two cases is:
1. \(2:9\) 2. \(1:2\)
3. \(2:3\) 4. \(1:1\)

There are two heaters \(A\) and \(B.\) The heater \(A\) takes time \(t_1\) to boil a given quantity of water, while \(B\) takes time \(t_2\) to boil the same quantity of water across the same supply voltage. If the two heaters are connected in series, the time taken by this combination to boil the same quantity of water will be:
1. \(\large\dfrac{t_1t_2}{t_1+t_2}\) 2. \(t_1+t_2\)
3. \({\large\dfrac12}(t_1+t_2)\) 4. \(\large\dfrac{t_1t_2}{2(t_1+t_2)}\)
