Cop of heat pump = 1 + cop of (refrigerating effect)
5 = 1 + cop ( refrigerating effect).
Cop of (refrigeration effect) = 5 - 1 = 4.

COP (H. P) = COP (R. E) +1.
ie, From the question we know that,

5= COP (R. E) +1.
hence COP (R. E)= 5-1 = 4.
(1)

In a refrigerator, COP = Referigeration Effect /work input_________(i)

(C.O.P) of heat pump - (C.O.P) of refrigerator = 1.
5 = 1 + (COP)Refrigeration.
SO, (COP) Refrigeration = 4.

From equation (i) we get;
Refrigeration effect = 4 *1 KW = 4 KW.

COP of hp = 1+ COP of refrig.

cop(heat pump) = 1+cop(R effect). R = Refrigeration.

5 = 1+cop(R effect).

cop(R effect) = 5-1.

cop(R effect) = 4.

(C.O.P) of heat pump-(C.O.P) of refrigerator = 1.

5 = 1+(COP)Refri.

So, (cop)Refri. = 4.

cop>p = 1+cop>r.
5 = 1+----.
cop>r = 4.

cop>r = RE/WC.
4 = RE/1.

RE = 4.
