To calculate the total energy used by the AC in Eco mode, we need its operating time and power consumption.
The AC ran in Eco mode for 4 hours (from 2 PM to 6 PM).
In Eco mode, the AC consumes 1000 watts. Converting this to kilowatts:
Power consumption: 1000 watts = 1 kW
Next, we find the energy used by multiplying power by time:
Total Energy Consumed (kWh) = Power (kW) × Time (hours)
Total Energy Consumed in Eco Mode = 1 kW × 4 hours = 4 kWh
To find the total cost of running the AC, we'll first calculate the total energy used in kilowatt-hours (kWh) for each mode. Then, we'll multiply that by the cost per kWh.
Step 1: Calculate Energy Used by Each Mode
Step 2: Calculate Total Energy Used
Total energy used = 4 kWh + 2.4 kWh + 3 kWh = 9.4 kWh.
Step 3: Calculate Total Cost
Total cost = Total energy used × Cost per kWh = 9.4 kWh × 8 = 75.2
Therefore, the total cost to run the AC yesterday was 75.2.
The plots below depict and compare the average monthly incomes (in Rs. ’000) of males and females in ten cities of India in the years 2005 and 2015. The ten cities, marked A-J in the records, are of different population sizes. For a fair comparison, to adjust for inflation, incomes for both the periods are scaled to 2025 prices. Each red dot represents the average monthly income of females in a particular city in a particular year, while each blue dot represents the average monthly income of males in a particular city in a particular year. The gender gap for a city, for a particular year, is defined as the absolute value of the average monthly income of males, minus the average monthly income of females, in that year.
