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 40W,60W,100W respectively.
As we know, brightness of a bulb is directly proportional to the power consumed.
Brightness of bulb A<B<C
