Since the transformer is assumed to be purely resistive, the power of the transformer can be calculated with $P = \frac{V^{2}}{R}$ . Therefore,
For the primary coil,
$P = \frac{{(8 \times 10^{3})}^{2}}{R_{P}} = 80 \times 10^{3} W$
$\Rightarrow R_{P} = 800 Ω$
For the secondary coil,
$P = \frac{{(160)}^{2}}{R_{S}} = 80 \times 10^{3} W$
$\Rightarrow R_{S} = 0.32 Ω$
