Question

Assertion : Two electric bulbs of 50 and 100 W are given. When connected in series 50 W bulb glows more but when connected parallel 100 W bulb glows more.
Reason : In series combination, power is directly proportional to the resistance of circuit. But in parallel combination, power is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.

  1. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.    
  2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.    
  3. If assertion is true but reason is false.    
  4. If the assertion and reason both are false.    

The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
