    1 GW = 100 Million Watt

    Population in Million

    Which of the following is true with regards to consumption of electricity per person based on the figures given in the table above?

    A.

    Increased by more than 40% in 2019 as compared to 2015

    B.

    Neither increased nor decreased between 2015 and 2019

    C.

    Increased between 2015 and 2019

    D.

    Decreased between 2015 and 2019

    Correct option is C

    Formula Used:
    Electricity consumption per person=Total Consumption (in Watt)Population (in number)\text{Electricity consumption per person} = \frac{\text{Total Consumption (in Watt)}}{\text{Population (in number)}}​​
    Since:
    1 GW = 100 × 10⁶ Watt
    Population is in millions, i.e., 10⁶
    Solution:
    2015:25×10020=125 Watts2016:40×10030133.33 Watts2017:60×10040=150 Watts2018:80×10050=160 Watts2019:100×10060166.67 Watts\begin{aligned}\text{2015:} & \quad \frac{25 \times 100}{20} = 125 \text{ Watts} \\\text{2016:} & \quad \frac{40 \times 100}{30} \approx 133.33 \text{ Watts} \\\text{2017:} & \quad \frac{60 \times 100}{40} = 150 \text{ Watts} \\\text{2018:} & \quad \frac{80 \times 100}{50} = 160 \text{ Watts} \\\text{2019:} & \quad \frac{100 \times 100}{60} \approx 166.67 \text{ Watts}\end{aligned}​​
    Conclusion:
    Electricity consumption per person increased steadily every year from 2015 to 2019.
