Question

The meter reading on 1st August shows 375 units and 430 units on 31st August. How much the owner would have to pay towards the electricity bill of August? (The cost of one unit of electricity is Rs. 4.26).

• A. Rs. 234.3/-
• B. Rs. 467.6/-
• C. Rs. 1831.8/-
• D. Rs. 1597.5/-

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. 234.3/-

Given:
Cost of one unit of electricity = Rs. 4.26/-
The reading on 1st August = 375 units
The reading on 31st August = 430 units
Units consumed during August = 430 - 375 = 55
Total amount to be paid $\left(\text{E}\right)$ in the form of electricity bill is the product of number of units consumed and the cost per unit.
$\Rightarrow$$\text{E}=55\times 4.26=\text{Rs. 234.3/-}$
