0.025*0.025*120 = 0.075 W
0.075*1000 = 75 mW Correct
0.075*1000 = 75 mW Correct

I= 25mA=25/1000 = .025A
R=120 ohm
P= I2R= .025*.025*120 = 3/40 W = 75mW.
R=120 ohm
P= I2R= .025*.025*120 = 3/40 W = 75mW.

P=I^2*R is correct when current passing through it is given but they have given maximum current we known P=VI we known I 25ma. So the answer should be in multiples of 25.
So from the given options 150 is multiple of 25 so option b is correct I feel so the rating should contain maximum current and max voltage.

p=i2r
=2*(25*10-3)2*120
=150mw
=2*(25*10-3)2*120
=150mw

I^2*R=25*25*120*(10^-3)^2= 750mW
while this option is not available in the option.. and these are given.. please give me ful explanantion of this question

i^2*r = 75mW....... 4.8W resistor carries max current of 200mA {i = root[4.8/120] = 200mA}. 150mW resistor carries max current of 35mA... 15mW resistor carries max current of 11.2mA... 480mW resistor carries max current of 63.2mA.....
Among those options 150mW resistor has nearer value 35mA max current. so, B is ryt ans.
