    Solution:

    When a cooler of 1500 W, 200 V and a fan of 500 W and 200 V are to be used from a household supply then the rating of the fuse to be used is 10 A.
    It is given that the power and voltage of the cooler and fan is 1500 W, 200 V and 500 W, 200 V respectively.
    The total power of the household is equal to the sum of the individual powers. Therefore,
    P=P1+P2
    P=1500+500
    P=2000 W
    The current drawn from the supply is given as
    I=PV
    I=2000200
    I=10 A
    Hence, the rating of the fuse is 10 A.
