Answer:

R = 40 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

Two bulbs have a resistance of 20 ohms when working normally.

When they are placed in series, the combined resistance is given by :

R = R₁ + R₂

We have, R₁ = R₂ = 20 ohms

R = 20 +20

= 40 ohms

Hence, the combined resistance of the two bulbs is 40 ohms.
