Answer: 3P/2

Explanation: Let the resistance of the bulbs be R.

now lets consider a Voltage V is supplied to the parallel circuit  such that

P=VI=V^2/R

V=IR

both single bulb( bulb 3) and the two bulbs ( bulb 1 and bulb 2) are provided the same Voltage

( as the voltage remains same in parallel circuit)

we can calculate the Current across both circuits

At Bulb 3

Current 1=V/R

Power1=Voltage * Current1

Power1=V*V/R

Power1=P

At Bulb 1 and Bulb 2

Total Resistance= R+R=2R

Current2=\frac{V}{2R}

Power2=Voltage * Current2

Power2=V*\frac{V}{2R} \\Power2=\frac{V^2}{2R} \\Power2=P/2

TotalPower=Power1+Power2\\TotalPower=P+P/2\\TotalPower=\frac{3P}{2}

Approximately how many news cases of STIs occur in the United States
galben [10]

<u>Approximately 20 million new cases of STIs occur every year in United</u> <u>States.Half of the new cases occur in young people aged between 15–24. </u>

Though younger people are accountable for nearly half of new cases, a recently taken study showed that last year, only around 12% underwent the test for STIs. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year, undiagnosed STIs causes 24,000 women to become infertile.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a substantial health challenge which the United States is facing. A very Strong public health awareness and infrastructure is crucial to prevent and control STIs, especially among the younger generation.
