The relationship between Energy and power is 
Energy = Power × time …(1)
For Heater:
Power (P) = 1000 W
                  = 1 kW
Time (T) = 5 hrs
The number of days for which the appliance is used is (n)=30
Energy consumed (E)= P×T×n
                                   =1kW×5×30
                                   =150 kWh
For refrigerator: 
Power (P') = 400 W
                   = 0.4 kW
Time (T') = 10 hrs
Energy consumed (E')= P'×T'×n
                                    = 0.4×10×30
                                    = 120 kWh
Total energy =(150+120)
                     =270 kWh
Therefore, the total cost =270×6 =Rs.1620
 The total running cost of a heater of 1000W for 5hrs daily and a refrigerator of 400W for 10hrs daily in a month, if the rate of 1 unit of electricity is Rs.6 will be Rs. 1620.
