It must be B.The current finds a more direct path to Y, Making it brighter.But the current still reaches X because there is still a path. SOF Says otherwise.

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb is correct as current will flow though X but I do feel that current will prefer less resistant path so D can also be correct

I too am confused as current will also flow through both the bulbs when circuit is closed. It will pass through the switch first and hence lighting up bulb Y.

Option D is correct because current prefers the path that offers less resistance. The bulb provides resistance whereas the switch when closed does not. Hence correct answer is D

The answer should be B as it will be closed circuit
