Detailed Solution

A 250 W TV set in 1 hour uses more energy than a 1200 W toaster in 10 minutes.
Given, TV power (P1) = 250 W; TV time (t1) = 1 hr= 3600 sec 
Toaster power (P2) = 1200 W; toster time (t2) = 10 min
The energy consumed by an electrical appliance is given by the expression = P×t, where P= power of the appliance and = time
Now, energy consumption by a 250 W TV set in one hour ETV= P1×t1 ……………… (i)
Put above values in equation (i) we get,
ETV= 250 ×3600
ETV= 9×105J  ………………… (ii)
Energy consumed by a 1200 W toaster in 10 minutes EToaster= P2×t2 ……………. (iii)
EToaster= 1200×600
EToaster=7.2×105J.  ………………….. (iv)
Comparing (iii) and (iv) equations we can say, energy consumption is more for Tv rather than toaster.
