उत्तर

Given, 

Power of geyser, P = 1500 W

Voltage, V = 250 V

  1. Current, I = `"P"/"V"`
    I = `1500/250`
    = 6 A
  2. Time, t = 50 h
    Energy, E = P × t
    = 1500 × 50
    = 75000 Wh
    = 75 kWh
  3. Cost per unit of energy = Rs 4.20
    Cost for 75 kWh of energy = 4.20 × 75
    = ₹ 315
