Solution

The correct option is B 57 units

2 bulbs of 50 W= 4*50 = 200 w

energy consumed for 100 w for 6 hrs = 200*6*3600 =4320000 joules

5 fans of 60W = 2*60 = 120W

energy consumed for 120 w for 6 hrs = 120*6*3600=2592000 joules

total energy consumed in one day = 4320000+2592000 = 6912000

= 6912000 /3.6*10^6 = 19 KWh or unit

so unit in 30 days = 1.9*30 = 57 units
