In 1994-95, if there was 10% decrease in the domestic consumption of power as compared to that in 1991-92, what was the consumption of power in the rural sector in 1991-92?
Explanation:
In 1994-95, the power consumed by various sectors out of 7875 megawatts can be given as follows.
Since there was a 10% decrease in domestic consumption of power in 1994-95, the domestic consumption in 1991-92 = 15750.9 = 1750 megawatts.
But this constitutes 20% of total power consumed in 1991-92 and the rural consumption constitutes 15% of total power in 1991-92. Hence, in 1991-92 the rural consumption = (1750 × 1520) = 1312 megawatts.
