Answer:

option (E) 150 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Bulb used in the flashlights are 10 watt bulb and the 15 watt bulb.

Now,

To discriminate from a 100-watt bulb

The first step is to divide the watt of given bulb as:

⇒ 15 ÷ 10

= 1.5

Multiplying the above result with the 100 watt

we get

= 150 watts

Hence,

answer is option (E) 150 watts
