The correct Answer is:
To calculate the electric energy consumed in 30 days by the two types of bulbs, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the energy consumed by the 60W bulbs. - **Number of bulbs**: 2 - **Power of each bulb**: 60W - **Time each day**: 4 hours - **Total days**: 30 The energy consumed by the 60W bulbs can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Energy} = \text{Power} \times \text{Time} \] For 2 bulbs: \[ \text{Energy}_{60W} = 2 \times 60 \, \text{W} \times 4 \, \text{hours} \times 30 \, \text{days} \] Convert hours to seconds for calculation: \[ = 2 \times 60 \times 4 \times 30 = 14400 \, \text{Wh} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the energy consumed by the 100W bulbs. - **Number of bulbs**: 3 - **Power of each bulb**: 100W - **Time each day**: 5 hours - **Total days**: 30 Using the same formula: \[ \text{Energy}_{100W} = 3 \times 100 \, \text{W} \times 5 \, \text{hours} \times 30 \, \text{days} \] \[ = 3 \times 100 \times 5 \times 30 = 45000 \, \text{Wh} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total energy consumed. Now, we add the energy consumed by both types of bulbs: \[ \text{Total Energy} = \text{Energy}_{60W} + \text{Energy}_{100W} \] \[ = 14400 \, \text{Wh} + 45000 \, \text{Wh} \] \[ = 59400 \, \text{Wh} \] ### Step 4: Convert the total energy to kilowatt-hours (kWh). Since 1 kWh = 1000 Wh, we convert: \[ \text{Total Energy in kWh} = \frac{59400 \, \text{Wh}}{1000} = 59.4 \, \text{kWh} \] ### Final Answer: The total electric energy consumed in 30 days is **59.4 kWh**. ---
