    Which of the following is not a correct statement?               

    A)  Resistivity of electrolytes decreases on increasing temperature

    B)  Resistance of mercury falls on decreasing its temperature

    C)  When joined in series a 40 W bulb glows more than a 60W bulb

    D)  Resistance of 40 W bulb is less than the resistance of 60 W bulb

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Power of bulb \[P=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{R}\] or            \[R=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{P}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[R\propto \frac{1}{P}\] It means that the bulb with low power has large resistance. So, \[40\text{ }W\]bulb will have more resistance then \[60\text{ }W\] bulb.
