Answer:

Correct Answer: 89. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) Power of heating coil =100W and voltage (V) =220 volts. When the heating coil is cut into two equal parts and these parts are joined in parallel, then the resistance of the coil is reduced to one-fourth of the previous value. Therefore energy liberated per second becomes 4 times i.e., 4×100=400J.
