(d)

Power of heating coil = 100 Wand 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 = 400 J.

The coil is cut into half, so the resistance becomes half. Further they both are connected to the same source. Resistance becomes 1/4 and P is inversely proportional to R Pawer becomes 4 times4×100=400
