Find total number of units consumed in House ‘A’ and ‘C’ together?

None of the given options

410 units

430 units

400 units

420 units

Explanation:

House A →
Units consumed by Other appliances = 120 units
Let unit consumed by Lights = x
Then, Units consumed by Fans = x−30
x+x−30=250−120
2x=130+30
x=80
Units consumed by Lights = 80 units
Units consumed by Fans = 50 units
House B →
Units consumed by Lights = 80 Units

Units consumed by Fans = 160/100×50=80 Units
House C →
Total units consumed by Lights in all three houses = 200 Units
⇒ Units consumed by Lights in house ‘C’ = 200−80−80
=40 Units
Units consumed by Fans = 40 Units
Units consumed by Other appliances = 40×225/100=90 Units
Total units consumed by Other appliances in House ‘B’
= 320−90−120=110Units
