The electrical energy required to heat a bucket of water to a certain temperature is 2 kWh. If heat losses, are 25%, the energy input is
2.67 kWh
3 kWh
2.5 kWh
3.5 kWh
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since 25% of input is lost, 0.75 Input = 2 or input =

How 0.75 came?

Let total applied energy is x.
Then,
x = 2k + 25% of x.
By solving x = 2.67.

Let total energy is x.

According to the question,

X - 20x/100 = 4kwh.
X-x/5 = 4,
5x-x/5 = 4,
4x = 20,
X = 5kwh.

Am I correct?

100-25 = 75.
75/100 = 0.75.

If input energy is E.

Then;
Input energy (E) - 25/100 of energy loss= 2kw.
E(1-0.25) = 2kw.
E = 2/0.75 =2.67kw.
