    Two bulbs have wattage 250 W and 100 W respectively, each rated at 220 V. The ratio of resistances between the two bulbs will be :

    A)  2 : 5          

    B)  5 : 2

    C)  3 : 4          

    D)  4 : 3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Resistance of bulb \[R=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{p}\] As V is constant hence,                 \[R\propto \frac{1}{p}\] or            \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{{{p}_{2}}}{{{p}_{1}}}\] Here,     \[{{p}_{1}}=250\,W,\,{{p}_{2}}=100\,W\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{100}{250}=\frac{2}{5}\]
