Explanation / Answer

a) after long time L is short circuit ,hence


I = E / R1


b)


current through light bulb goes on decreasing and hence it become dimmer with time.


c)


the energy stored in Inductor is dissipated through the Bulb . so it flashes and then when all energy is dissipated it goes off


d)


just before opening


VB = 0


just after closing the switch


VB= E *R2/ (R1 )
