c
both will glow with same brightness
d
first 25 watt and then 100 watt

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Resistance of 25 watt bulbR1=V2P=(220)225=1936ΩResistance of 100 watt bulbR2=V2P=(220)2100=484ΩBrightness of bulb is directly proportional to i2R.Since same current is flowing through the bulbs , 25 watt bulb will glow brighter.
