Statement II: Daily electricity supply from the company is 1.65 lakh units. Statement III: The cost to the company for every 15000 unit electricity losses is Rs. 14500. Correct Answer Statement II and Statement III together are sufficient to answer the question.
Statement II:
Total units lost per day can be found as (1.65 × 0.16) = 26400 units
Statement III:
Cost to the company for every 15000 unit electricity losses is Rs. 14500
∴ Cost to the company for 26400 units loss can also be found and that will be the loss in rupees per day.
Statement I is of no use as it does not gives an idea about the cost price of per unit electricity to the company.
∴ Statement II and Statement III together are sufficient to answer the question.
