Two electric bulbs marked 25W – 220V and 100W – 220V are connected in series to a 440Vsupply. Which of the bulbs will fuse?
Answer: Option 'B'
Resistances of both the bulbs are R1=V^2/P1 = 220^2/25 R2 = V^2/P2 = 220^2/100 Hence R1gt ; R2R1gt ; R2 When connected in series, the voltages divide in them in the ratio of their resistances. The voltage of 440 V devides in such a way that voltage across 25 w bulb will be more than 220 V. Hence 25 w bulb will fuse.

A solid ball of metal has a spherical cavity inside it. When the ball is heated the volume of the cavity will
Answer: Option 'B'
The metal ball can be considered to be made up of several layers of thinner ones. On heating each of these layers will increase in radius. As the inner most layer also increases its radius, the volume inside it i.e, the volume of the hollow portion will also increase.
