Final answer:
The current drawn from the line when two lamps are connected in parallel with a voltage of 220 volts is 0.72 Amperes.
Explanation:
When two lamps are connected in parallel, the voltage across each lamp remains the same, but the current flowing through each lamp adds up. In this case, both lamps are rated at 220 volts. So, the current drawn from the line can be found using Ohm's law: I = P/V, where I is the current, P is the power, and V is the voltage.
For the 100-watt lamp, I = 100/220 = 0.45 Amperes.
For the 60-watt lamp, I = 60/220 = 0.27 Amperes.
Therefore, the total current drawn from the line is 0.45 Amperes + 0.27 Amperes = 0.72 Amperes.
