Detailed Solution

P1=2202R1  andP1=220×0.82R2

P2P1=  220×0.822202  ×R1R2  P2P1=0.82  ×  R1R2

Here R2 < R1

(because voltage decreases from 220 V  220 x 0.8 V. It means heat produced  decreases)

SoR1R2>1    P20.82P1P2>  0.82×  100  W

AlsoP2P1=  220×0.8i2220i1,  Since  i2<i1  we  expect

So  P2P1<  0.8  P2  <  100  ×  0.8

Hence, the actual power would be between 100 x (0.8)2 W and (100 x 0.8) W
