A

25W,220V

bulb and a

100W,220V

bulb are connected in series across

440V

line

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

only

25W

bulb will fuse

Option B (only

25W

bulb will fuse) is correct because the

25W

bulb has higher resistance and will dissipate more power, exceeding its rating.
