Two electric bulbs marked $40\,W, 220\,V$ and $60\,W, 220\,V$ are connected in series across a $220\,V$ supply,resulting in an effective power $P_1$. When they are connected in parallel across the same $220\,V$ supply,the effective power is $P_2$. The ratio $\frac{P_1}{P_2}$ is:

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $0.48$
  • C
    $0.24$
  • D
    $0.16$
