In the diagram above, if each of the resistors can dissipate a maximum of 18W without becoming excessively heated, what is the maximum power the circuit can dissipate?

It may sound funny but all jambites did and will do what man @manpikin did in jamb hall,
it is called "MANIPULATION"

1/P=1/18+1/18
1/P=2/18
P=18/2 which is = 9
P=9+18=27W

Total resistance of the circuit
1/2+1/2=2/2=1
in series 2+1=3 ohms

Remember each resistor (2ohms) has 18W
what will the whole resistor(3 ohms ) have?
2 ohms==>18W
3 ohms==>X
X=(18×3)/2=27W
