    Five lumen/watt is the luminous efficiency of a lamp and its luminous intensity is 35 candela. The power of the lamp is  [CPMT 1992]

    A)            80 W                                        

    B)            176 W

    C)            88 W                                        

    D)            36 W

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Efficiency of light source                    \[\eta =\frac{\varphi }{p}\]                             ..... (i)                    and \[L=\frac{\varphi }{4\pi }\]                    ..... (ii)                    From equation (i) and (ii)            \[\Rightarrow p=\frac{4\pi L}{\eta }=\frac{4\pi \times 35}{5}\approx 88\,W\].
