    Which of the following does NOT help us save electricity?
    (i) Switch off the air conditioner and open the refrigerator door to cool the house.
    (ii) Use the electric iron to iron just one or two clothes at a time.
    (iii) Connect more than one electric appliance to one power point.

    A)                                Only (i) and (ii)

    B)  Only (ii) and (iii)

    C)       Only (i) and (iii)

    D)       (i),(ii) and (iii)

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (i) A refrigerator is meant to keep food items fresh. Hence, it should not be used to cool the house. (ii) An electric iron should be used to iron many clothes at a time. This helps to save electricity. (iii) An electrical appliance should be connected to a single power point only. If too many electrical appliances are connected to a single socket, it results in overloading. The copper wires of household wiring may get heated due to overloading resulting in very high temperature that may cause fire.
