Detailed Solution

The cost of electrical energy consumed by them in one week at Rs. 3 per unit is Rs 13.44.
In general, power is given by
 P = Et
Where E is the energy and t is the time.
Power of device P= 40 W
Time t = 8 hr
Therefore,
 P = Et
 E = P × t
 E = 40 × 8
 E = 320 J
Energy consumed by 2 bulbs in 1 week,
= 320 × 2 × 7  E= 4.48 kW
Therefore total power consumed is 4.48 units.
Hence, the total cost  =4.48 ×3
                                   = Rs 13.44.
