When the room temperature is 25^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C, an electric kettle used for preparing tea takes 22 minutes to boil 44 cups of water (where 11 cup contains 200 cc200 \text{ cc} of water). Given that the \cos t of power consumption is Re 1.001.00 per unit (11 unit =1000= 1000 watt-hour), determine the \cos t of boiling 44 cups of water if the room temperature drops to 5^{}^{{}^{\circ}} C.

Options

  1. A11 paise11 \text{ paise}
  2. B7 paise7 \text{ paise}
  3. C9 paise9 \text{ paise}
  4. D5 paise5 \text{ paise}

Correct answer

C. 9 paise9 \text{ paise}

Step-by-step solution

Total volume of water =4×200 cc=800 cc= 4 \times 200 \text{ cc} = 800 \text{ cc}.

Mass of water, m=800 g=0.8 kgm = 800 \text{ g} = 0.8 \text{ kg}.

Specific heat capacity of water, s = 4200 \text{ J kg}^{-1} ^{}^{{}^{\circ}}\textC^{-1}.

At an initial room temperature of 25^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}, the heat required to boil the water (100^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}) is:

Q1=msΔT1=0.8×4200×(100−25)=252000 JQ_1 = ms\Delta T_1 = 0.8 \times 4200 \times (100 - 25) = 252000 \text{ J}

The kettle takes 2 minutes2 \text{ minutes} (120 s120 \text{ s}) to boil this water. The power of the kettle is:

P=Q1t1=252000120=2100 W=2.1 kWP = \dfrac{Q_1}{t_1} = \dfrac{252000}{120} = 2100 \text{ W} = 2.1 \text{ kW}

When the room temperature drops to 5^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C}, the new heat required to boil the water is:

Q2=msΔT2=0.8×4200×(100−5)=319200 JQ_2 = ms\Delta T_2 = 0.8 \times 4200 \times (100 - 5) = 319200 \text{ J}

The time taken to boil the water at 5^{}^{{}^{\circ}} \text{C} is:

t2=Q2P=3192002100=152 st_2 = \dfrac{Q_2}{P} = \dfrac{319200}{2100} = 152 \text{ s}

The electrical energy consumed in this process (in kWh\text{kWh} or units) is:

E=P×t2=2.1 kW×1523600 h=319.23600 kWh≈0.08867 unitsE = P \times t_2 = 2.1 \text{ kW} \times \dfrac{152}{3600} \text{ h} = \dfrac{319.2}{3600} \text{ kWh} \approx 0.08867 \text{ units}

Given the \cos t of power is Re 1.00\text{Re } 1.00 (100 paise100 \text{ paise}) per unit, the total \cos t is:

\text{\cos t} = 0.08867 \times 100 \text{ paise} = 8.867 \text{ paise}

Rounding to the nearest integer, the \cos t is 9 paise9 \text{ paise}.

Answer: 9 paise9 \text{ paise}
