Explanation:
Resistance of the 220V, 100W bulb is given by
R=
P
V
2
=
100
220

=484Ω
Thus, when connected in series, total resistance R
s
=484+484Ω
=968Ω
Power drawn in case of series combination,
P
s
=

=50W
When connected in parallel, total resistance R

=242Ω
Power drawn in case of series combination,
