Expert Answer:
When the switched is closed, bulb Q and R are parallel to each other. The combined resistance of a parallel combination is less than the individual resistance.
So, the whole circuit consists of P in series with the parallel combination of Q and R. Thus, the bulb P will be brighter than the Q and R.
