Can someone please help with this

Q33 (Ans: A)(Also, are all three P Q and R parallel to each other)?
There are lots of ways for this question
I find V the easiest to use in an explanation
PQR all have same resistance
Q,R have same V while P has 2x of their V so 2V
Power = (V²)/R
so Power ratio of P Q R =((2v)²)/R: (V²)/R : (V^R)/R or 4:1:1
total power is 12, divided to 6 parts so Power of R is 2W

So is P Q and R parallel to one another? I'm always having trouble deciding whether they are parallel or in series.. How to differentiate them?
