B$25\, watt$ bulb
b (b) Resistance of $25\, W$ bulb $ = \frac{{220 \times 220}}{{25}} = 1936\,\Omega $
Its safe current $ = \frac{{220}}{{1936}} = 0.11\,\,amp.$
Resistance of $100\, W$ bulb $ = \frac{{220 \times 220}}{{100}} = 484\,\Omega $
Its safe current $ = \frac{{220}}{{484}} = 0.48\,\,amp.$
When connected in series to $440\, V$ supply, then the current $I = \frac{{440}}{{(1936 + 484)}} = 0.18\,amp.$
Thus current is greater for $25\, W$ bulb, so it will fuse.

Assertion : Free electrons always keep on moving in a conductor even then no magnetic force act on them in magnetic field unless a current is passed through it.
Reason : The average velocity of free electron is zero.
A network of four resistances is connected to $9\,V$ battery, as shown in figure. The magnitude of voltage difference between the points $A$ and $B$ is .......... $V.$
Two bulbs of $500\, watt$ and $200\, watt$ are manufactured to operate on $220\, volt$ line. The ratio of heat produced in $500\, W$ and $200\, W$, in two cases, when firstly they are joined in parallel and secondly in series, will be
$32$ cells, each of $emf$ $3V$, are connected in series and kept in a box. Externally, the combination shows an $emf$ of $84\, V$. The number of cells reversed in the combination is
