Detailed Solution

Rs 645.12 is the cost of electricity used in this house in a month of 30 days. If in a house, two tube lights rated 40 W each operates for 4 hours per day. Two electric fans rated 80 W each operates10 hours/day. An electric refrigerator rated 400 W operates for 12 hours/day and the rate for the electricity bill is 3.20 per KWh.
Electric energy consumed by two tube lights per day (E1)= 2× 40 × 4h
E1= 320 Wh   …………………………………… (i)
Energy consumed by two electric fans per day (E2)= 2 ×80 × 10 h
E2= 1600 Wh     ……………………………….. (ii)
Energy consumed by electric refrigerator per day = 400×12 h
E2= 4800 Wh   …………………………………. (iii)
On adding equations (i),(ii) and (iii) we get total energy consumed,
Total energy consumed per day (E)= E1 + E2+ E3
Total energy consumed per day = 320 + 1600+ 4800
E= 6720
E= 6.72 kWh ………………………………. (iv)
Total energy consumed in 30 days = 6.72 ×30 
= 201.6 kWh
Cost of electricity = 201.6 × 3.20
Cost of electricity= 645.12
