Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The resistance of 49 bulbs will be less than 50 bulbs in series.
Since, heat produced $H = I^{2} R t$ , so R decreases, also heat produced as well as brightness will decrease.
The resistance of 49 bulbs will be more than 50 bulbs in parallel - this correct because of $R / 49 > R / 50$ where R, the resistance of each bulb.
Ans: B
