as we now p=V^2/R calc. resistence of each bulb i.e. 968 and 484 ohms . now if we connect it in series same current will flow through both the bulbs!!! from formula p=I^2 R power is directly proportional to R(resistence) hence 1st bulb with more resistence consumes more power. If i have helped you PLEASE APPROVE MY ANSWER!!
