Light Bulbs in Series A 60-W, 120-V light bulb and a 200-W, 120-V light bulb are connected

Question:

Light Bulbs in Series A 60-W, 120-V light bulb and a 200-W, 120-V light bulb are connected in series across a 240-V line. Assume that the resistance of each bulb does not vary with current. (Note: This description of a light bulb gives the power it dissipates when connected to the slated potential difference; that is, a 25-W, 120-V light bulb dissipates 25 W when connected to a 120-V line.)
(a) Find the current through the bulbs.
(b) Find the power dissipated in each bulb.
(c) One bulb burns out very quickly. Which one? Why?
