Explanation of Solution
The effective resistance of the resistors when they are connected in series combination is as follows
  
The effective resistance of the resistors when they are connected in parallel combination is as follows
  
The following diagram which represents that one bulb burn out and all the other bulbs continues to produce light.
  
(b)
To design: Circuit B requires that should one bulb burn out, those bulbs that continue working must produce the correct intensity.
