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.

Tinsae said:   4 years ago
Agree, the correct answer is option E.

C is the correct answer. Maximum daily consumption=1.8 * average consumption.

Given answer is correct.

As 1.5 is max hourly consumption factor and 1.8 is the max daily consumption factor.

In question, it is asked that ratio of maximum hourly consumption and average hourly consumption of the maximum day. So we have to apply both factors to avg daily consumption.

1.5-1.8 = 2.7.
