Correct answer: C

  1. Use the bulb's rated values to find its resistance

For a bulb rated 220 V220\,\text{V}220V and 1000 W1000\,\text{W}1000W,

P=V2RP = \frac{V^2}{R}P=RV2​

So,

R=V2P=(220)21000=484001000=48.4 ΩR = \frac{V^2}{P} = \frac{(220)^2}{1000} = \frac{48400}{1000} = 48.4\,\OmegaR=PV2​=1000(220)2​=100048400​=48.4Ω

  1. Now connect it to 110 V110\,\text{V}110V supply

Assuming the resistance remains the same, the new power is

P′=V′2R=(110)248.4P' = \frac{V'^2}{R} = \frac{(110)^2}{48.4}P′=RV′2​=48.4(110)2​

P′=1210048.4=250 WP' = \frac{12100}{48.4} = 250\,\text{W}P′=48.412100​=250W

  1. Check via ratio method

Since resistance is constant,

P∝V2P \propto V^2P∝V2

Therefore,

P′P=(110220)2=(12)2=14\frac{P'}{P} = \left(\frac{110}{220}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4}PP′​=(220110​)2=(21​)2=41​

So,

P′=1000×14=250 WP' = 1000 \times \frac{1}{4} = 250\,\text{W}P′=1000×41​=250W

  1. Evaluate options
  • A: 750750750 watt — incorrect
  • B: 500500500 watt — incorrect
  • C: 250250250 watt — correct
  • D: 100010001000 watt — incorrect

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
