Correct answer: C

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

For a bulb rated 50 W50\,\text{W}50W at 200 V200\,\text{V}200V,

P=V2RP = \frac{V^2}{R}P=RV2​

So,

R=V2P=(200)250=4000050=800 ΩR = \frac{V^2}{P} = \frac{(200)^2}{50} = \frac{40000}{50} = 800\,\OmegaR=PV2​=50(200)2​=5040000​=800Ω

  1. Now connect it to the actual supply voltage

The bulb is connected across 100 V100\,\text{V}100V, so the power dissipated becomes

P′=V′2R=(100)2800=10000800=12.5 WP' = \frac{V'^2}{R} = \frac{(100)^2}{800} = \frac{10000}{800} = 12.5\,\text{W}P′=RV′2​=800(100)2​=80010000​=12.5W

  1. Match with the options

12.5 W12.5\,\text{W}12.5W

So the correct option is C.

  1. Verification with stored answer

Stored correct answer: C

My derived answer: C

They agree.
