Question

Ram and Shyam made two different circuits having two bulbs and a cell each. One bulb in Ram’s circuit is glowing but in Shyam's circuit, none of the bulbs is glowing.
Choose the correct statement.
(It is known that one bulb is fused in both circuits.)
Statement 1: Ram has connected the bulbs in parallel.
Statement 2: Shyam has connected the bulbs in series.

• A. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.
• B. Statement 2 is correct but statement 1 is incorrect.
• C. Both the statements are correct.
  
• D. Both the statements are incorrect.
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct.


In a series connection, the appliances are connected in series with each other. They are dependent on each other and if one of them is out of order then none of them will work.
In a parallel connection, the appliances are parallel to each other. They are independent and they work even if one or some of the appliances connected parallelly are out of order.
As one bulb in Ram’s circuit is glowing but in Shyam’s circuit, none of the bulbs is glowing. Therefore, we can say that Ram has connected the bulbs in parallel and Shyam has connected the bulbs in series.
