a) 3 bulbs rated 40W for 5 hrs :      3405 = 600 Watt hours

b) A heater rated 1500W for 3hrs        3 1500 = 4500 Watt hours

c) A fridge rated 400W                          

Would assume the Fridge would run for 24 hours a day :40024 =  9600 Watt hours                                

Total Watt hours for 1 day :

600 + 4500 + 9600 = 14700 Watt hours

Unit of Electricity is in kWh

14 700 wh =  14700/1000 = 14.7kWh

But 1kWh = Rs.3

14.7 kWh =    3*14.7 = 44.1 

Total cost =       Rs.44.10
