Detailed Solution

Concept: An electric heater is used for domestic purposes and we need to calculate the cost of energy . The formula is Power Consumed 1 unit=Power ×Time.
Energy used by electric heater in kWH=750×10-2×2=1.5 units
Energy used by motor in kWH =1000×10-3×32=1.5 units
Power Consumed 1 unit=Power ×Time
Total unit is 1.5 +1.5 = 3 units.
Cost per unit= 3× 5.5 = 16.5
Total cost is equal to 511.5 
Hence, the correct option is 3.
