Power is inversely proportional to resistance. therefore, lesser the power, more is the resistance. so, electric lamp having 40W ,220V has higher risistance. 
P=V square/R
40=48400/R
48400/40=R
R=1210 OHM

P=V square /R
R=48400/60
R=806.6 OHM
Therefore,electric lamp having 40W, 220V has a higher resistance.

pranjal7: it is correct ans
Joel1111: it was a mistake
Joel1111: that i made
pranjal7: what?
pranjal7: you made?
Joel1111: it is the correct answer

Power is inversely proportional to resistance. therefore, lesser the power, more is the resistance. so, electric lamp having 40W ,220V has higher resistance. 

P=V²/R

R=V²/P

R=(220)²/40

48400/40=R

R=1210Ω

P=V² /R

R=V²/P

R=48400/60

R=806.6Ω

Therefore,electric lamp having 40W, 220V has a higher resistance

Hope it helps you
