Detailed Solution
Resistance of 25 watt bulbR1=V2P=(220)225=1936ΩResistance of 1oo watt bulbR2=V2P=(220)2100=484ΩSeries resistance =R1+R2=2420ΩCurrent through combinationi=2002420=111Voltage across 25 watt bulb=R1×i=193611=176 volt Voltage across 100 watt bulb=R2×i=(484/11)=44 volt Hence 25 watt bulb will glow brighter
