The correct answer is option 2: 0-25 A.

To calculate the current required to light a 60 W incandescent bulb in a domestic supply of 240 V, we can use the formula:

Power = Voltage x Current

Given that the power of the bulb is 60 W and the voltage of the domestic supply is 240 V, we can rearrange the formula to solve for current:

Current = Power / Voltage

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Current = 60 W / 240 V

Calculating this, we find:

Current = 0.25 A

Therefore, the current required to light the 60 W incandescent bulb in a domestic supply of 240 V is 0.25 A.

However, it`s important to note that option 2 states "0-25 A," which implies that the current could be any value between 0 A and 25 A. This is not accurate in this scenario, as the correct answer is a specific value of 0.25 A. Thus, the wording in option 2 is misleading, but the answer itself is correct.
