The resistance of the filament of a lamp increases with the increase in temperature. A lamp rated $100\, W, 220\, V$ is connected across $220\, V$ power supply. If the voltage drops by $10\%$ then the power of lamp will be
  • A$90\, W$
  • B$81\, W$
  • CBetween $90\, W$ and $100\, W$
  • DBetween $81\, W$ and $90\, W$
