185. Incandescent bulbs are designed by keeping in mind that the resistance of their filament increases with the increase in temperature. If at room temperature, $$100\,W,\,60W$$  and $$40\,W$$ bulbs have filament resistances $${R_{100}},{R_{60}}$$  and $${R_{40}},$$ respectively, the relation between these resistances is

A $$\frac{1}{{{R_{100}}}} = \frac{1}{{{R_{40}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{60}}}}$$
B $${R_{100}} = {R_{40}} + {R_{60}}$$
C $${R_{100}} > {R_{60}} > {R_{40}}$$
D $$\frac{1}{{{R_{100}}}} > \frac{1}{{{R_{60}}}} > \frac{1}{{{R_{40}}}}$$
