The correct answer is option 3):(10 lumens/watt)

Concept:

Luminous efficiency:

It is defined as the ratio of the total luminous flux emitting from the source to its electrical power input in watts.

Lamp efficiency = luminous flux/power input

It is expressed in lumen/watt.

Calculation:

Given

Luminous flux = 1000 lumens,

V = 200 volts,

I = 0.5 A

Power input = 200 x 0.5 = 100 W

Luminous efficiency = 1000 / 100

Luminous efficiency = 10 lumens per watt
