(c)

In given circuit, when $S_1$ and $S_3$ both are closed, then source is short circuited. Closing either $S_1$ or $S_3$ does not completes any of path. Hence, they produce no change in circuit.

On closing $S_2$ alone the circuit containing bulb is complete. Hence, bulb will light up when $S_2$ is closed alongwith $S_3$ but $S_1$ is open. Option $(c)$ is correct.

    Heater of electric kettle is made of a wire of length $L$ and diameter $d$. It takes $4$ minutes to raise the temperature of $0.5 \ kg$ water by $40\ K$. This heater is replaced by a new heater having two wires of the same material, each of length $L$ and diameter $2 d$. The way these wires are connected is given in the options. How much time in minutes will it take to raise the temperature of the same amount of water by $40K$ ?

    $(A)$ $4$ if wires are in parallel

    $(B)$ $2$ if wires are in series

    $(C)$ $1$ if wires are in series

    $(D)$ $0.5$ if wires are in parallel.
