Two lamps of each = 3kw×2=6kw
time used every week = 20h
electrical energy consumed = power×time = 20×6= 120kwh= 0.12unit
six bulb= 150×6 = 900kw
time= 30h
power =30×900= 27000kwh =27 unit
Total electrical energy consumed = 27+0.12=27.12unit
1 unit=7p
27.12unit = 27.12 ×7= 189.84 p

Answer:1.029p
Explanation:Two fire sources each of=3kw
Now total power of two sources=2×3kw=6kw
Time taken=20 hrs
Therefore,energy=P×T=6×20
=120kwh=0.12 units
Now,total power dissipated by 6 lights=6×150=900 W=0.9 kw
Time taken=30 hrs
Energy consumed=P×T=30×0.9=27kwh
=0.027 unit
Total energy consumed=0.027+0.12=0.147 units
1 unit=7p
So,cost=7×0.147
=1.029p
