Solution

The correct option is A Shortage in the amount of electricity is by 62.277 MW
Total amount of electricity needed = 1450 MW

The amount of electricity produced by thermal power plant = 595.023 MW

The amount of electricity produced by wind power plant = 431.245 MW

The amount of electricity produced by solar power plant = 361.455 MW

Total amount of electricity produced =

595.023
431.245
+361.455
------------
1387.723
------------

Total amount of electricity produced = 1387.723 MW

Total amount of electricity needed = 1450 MW

Difference = 1450 - 1387.723 = 62.277 MW

Since the amount of electricity needed is more than that of produced, there is shortage of electricity and the quantity needed is 62.777 MW
