Solution

The correct option is B the pan containing the bulb will go down
When the glass bulb is weighed by a brass weight in air both of them displaces air, but the glass bulb being of much larger volume displaces larger volume of the air. when the system is covered by a bell jar. which is then evacuated the upthrust due to displaced air will be absent and the glass bulb will weigh more. thus, pen with the bulb goes down
