- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Find the resistance of the lamp in working condition (hot filament).
For a lamp rated at ,
So,
- Use the given relation between hot and cold resistance.
The hot resistance is about times the cold resistance:
Hence,
- Match with the options.
So the correct option is B.
