40W Bulb will spiol due to over current passing through its coil

Answer

Since the 40-W lamp has a higher resistance than the 100-W lamp, the greater voltage drop will appear the 40 W lamp. As a result the 40 W lamp will be subjected to a voltage beyond its 100-V rating, and the 100-W lamp will be subjected to a voltage below its 100-V rating. Therefore, the 40-W lamp will burn much more brightly than the 100-W lamp.

Incidentally, the symbols for the 'watt' and 'volt' are upper, not lower, case: W and V.
