(N/A) $(i)$ Current $(I)$ is calculated using the formula $P = V \times I$,so $I = P / V = 750\, W / 200\, V = 3.75\, A$.
$(ii)$ Resistance $(R)$ is calculated using Ohm's Law $V = I \times R$,so $R = V / I = 200\, V / 3.75\, A \approx 53.33\, \Omega$.
$(iii)$ Energy consumed $(E)$ is calculated as $E = P \times t = 750\, W \times 2\, h = 1500\, Wh = 1.5\, kWh$.

Sonika is working with the circuit shown in the figure. There are two open terminals in the circuit: $X$ and $Y$. She has wires made of five different materials: $I, II, III, IV,$ and $V$. She knows that the electric bulb will glow only when wires made of conducting materials are connected across both open terminals. She records her observations in a table. After the experiment,ink spills on the paper,and she loses the information for the third row.
$S.No.$Material at $X$Material at $Y$Electric Bulb ($ON$/$OFF$)
$1$$I$$II$$OFF$
$2$$I$$IV$$ON$
$3$--$OFF$
$4$$III$$V$$ON$

Based on the remaining information in the table,which materials could be in the third row?
