Please See Below .

Explanation:

For determining the resistance of 'n' Resistors in parallel.We know that for two resistance in parrallel we have formulaenter image source here
1/R_(Net)=1/R_1+1/R_2
R_(Net)=(R_1*R_2)/(R_1+R_2)

Similarly
For 'n' such connetenter image source here
we can Say :-
1/R_(Net)=1/R_1+1/R_2. . . . .1/R_n
R_(Net)=(R_1*R_2*R_3....R_n)/(R_2*R_3..R_n+R_1*R_3*R_4*R_n..)

The diagram in your mind must be very clear ..
First we need to find out the Net resistance ..
which is
1/R_(Net)=1/4+1/6+1/10
=>1.93 Omega
Net current in the circuit is given by ohms law..
V=I*R
net Current =6.21 A
Power = I^2R
(6.21)^2*1.93=P
P=74.42 watt
