Which bulb will get fused first?

Homework Statement

If two bulbs of power 25 watt and 100 watt each rated at 220 volts are connected in series with a supply of 440 volts. Which bulb will be fused?

The Attempt at a Solution

This is what I think I have to do-
Find out the resistances of each bulb from the data given.
Use P=I²R for each bulb and find out if it is greater than its power rating. The one with higher power rating will get fused.

Is this right?

Hi Abdul!

This is what I think I have to do-
Find out the resistances of each bulb from the data given.
Use P=I²R for each bulb and find out if it is greater than its power rating. The one with higher power rating will get fused.

That's right!

(I assume you're finding I from the total resistance)
