Detailed Solution

Resistance of upper bulb, R1=1002/25=400Ω

Resistance of lower bulb, R2=2002/100=400Ω

Equivalent resistance of the circuit, Req=500  Ω

Heat lost per second in the circuit is

e2/Req=2002/500=80  J  s1

Potential difference across branches AB and CD will be same. Hence, ratio of heat generated in them is

HeatABHeatCD=RCDRAB=1000500=2:1

Hence, 3 is incorrect.

Since potential difference across branches AB and CD will be the same, but their resistances are different, so current in them will be different. As the resistances of the bulbs are same, so heat generated in them will be different. Hence, 2 is incorrect. Current drawn from the cell is e/Req=200/500=0.4  A
