Use the formula P = VI, assume V to be a constant value

When P is 100W, Current(I) is higher

but when P = 60W, current is lower (remember that V is constant)

then use V = IR, when current is high, resistance is low

Hence 60 W bulb has a higher resistance than 100W bulb

both the filaments are made up of same material, then we can use

RHO=R*A/l

Here, p is resistivity of material

R is resistance of the material

A is area of cross-section

L is length of the material

And we also need
P=V2/R
where P is the power

V is the voltage

R is the resistance.

We know all the required values, so when you solve these equations for Area, your will find that the more are is required for 100
watt filament and hence it is more thicker than the other.
