A.

9A

B.

8A

C.

7A

D.

A house has ten 40W and five 100W bulbs. How much will it cost the owner of the house to keep them lit for 10 hours if the cost of a unit is 5N?

A.

N90

B.

N50

C.

N45

D.

N5

Correct answer is C

P = 40 x 10 + 100 x 5

P = 400 + 500 = 900W

Cost = \(\frac{900 \times 10 \times 5}{1000}\)

Cost = N45
