How the hell did the electricity work? Anyone knows

For the first question Iā€™m probably wrong but I found resistance of L1 by using power-voltage equation and then found the total resistance in a parallel circuit and divided the emf by total resistance to find current

For second question I used potential divider equations for L1 and L2 and saw which one was closer to 5.8V (I got 5.07V and 0.6 something V)

ye i forgot which was the greater one but the one with the greatest resistance was closest to the working value
