If voltage across a bulb rated 220 volt-100 watt drops by `2.5 %` of its value, the percentage of the rated value by which the power would decrease isA. `10%`B. `20%`C. `2.5%`D. `5%`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
(d) Power consumed `P = (V^(2))/(R )`. For small variation
`100 xx (Delta P)/(P) = 2 (Delta V)/(V) xx 100 = 2 xx 2.5 %`
Therefore, power would decrease by `5%`
