Incandescent bulbs are designed by keeping in mind that the resistance of their filament increases with the increase in temperature. If at room temperature, `100W, 60W and 40W` bulbs have filament resistances `R_(100), R_(60) and R_(40)`, respectively, the relation between these resistances is

A

`(1)/(R_(100))=(1)/(R_(40))+(1)/(R_(60))`

B

`R_(100)=R_(40)+R_(60)`

C

`R_(100)gt R_(40)gt R_(60)`

D

`(1)/(R_(100))gt (1)/(R_(60)) gt (1)/(R_(40))`
