Solution

The correct option is C Brightness of bulb B will be more than that of A
Hint : Brightness is directly proportional to the power consumed.

Step 1 : Compare the power consumed by the bulbs
Given : Three bulbs connected in parallel to an electric source consume power $40 W, 60 W, 100 W$ respectively.
As we know, brightness of a bulb is directly proportional to the power consumed.
$∴$ Brightness of bulb $A < B < C$

Option C is correct.
