Agree, the correct answer is option E.

B is correct and if the question would be for average hourly consumption for average daily instead of max daily then option E should be valid.

Thanks for explaining @Priya.

B is correct. I too agree.

The question is totally wrong... How the ratio come 2.7?
Max. Daily demand = 1.8 of (Average daily demand)
Peak Hour consumption = 1.5 of (Max. Daily demand)
Or u can say that (1.8 * 1.5 = 2.7)
So the way that the question is asked is totally wrong.

The ratio of max. hourly consumption =( 2.7 LPCD /24).
The ratio of avg. hourly consumption = (1.8 LPCD /24).
So, Ans is B

Dipu said:   6 years ago
B will be the right answer.

Paras said:   9 years ago
It's option B.

Max. Hourly consumption is 2.7 times the average annual hourly consumption. And 1.5 times Avg hourly consumption on the day of maximum use.

Thank you @Priya.

Maximum daily demand = 1.8 x average daily demand,
Maximum hourly demand of maximum day i.e. Peak demand,

= 1.5 x average hourly demand.
= 1.5 x Maximum daily demand/24.
= 1.5 x (1.8 x average daily demand)/24.
= 2.7 x average daily demand/24.
= 2.7 x annual average hourly demand.
