The potential drop across the two bulbs is the same
B
The potential drop across the 40 watt bulb is greater than the potential drop across the 100 watt bulb
C
The potential drop across the 100 W bulb is greater than the potential drop across the 40 W bulb
D
The potential drop across both the bulb is 200 volt

The correct answer is:
B

When two bulbs are connected in series, the current will be same in both the bulbs. As a result potential drop will be more in the bulb of higher resistance i.e., bulb of lower wattage.
