Detailed Solution

Given PA=60  W,  PB=100  W.We know that current flowing through the bulb is I=P/V. We also know that as both the bulbs  are connected in parallel, potential difference (V) across both  the bulbs is the same. Thus, IP. Since the power of bulb B is greater than that of bulb A, bulb B draws more current than bulb A.
