In series connection :
​effective resistance of n resistors is given by Rs =  R + R + R + R ....... = nR = X    .........(1)

​In parallel combination :
effective resistance of n resistors is given by 1/Rp = Y = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R + 1/R + ........  
Rp = R/n = Y      ..........(2)

dividing eq1 by eq. 2, we get :
X/Y = n2

In series
nR = X

The connection in parallel
R/n = Y

X : Y = nR divided by R/n
R and R will be cancelled
And we get n^2

X / Y = n^2 / 1
So,
X : Y = n^2 : 1

Hope it helps you!!!
