A student in a town in India, where the price per unit ( $1$ unit $=1 \,kWh$ ) of electricity is $₹ 5.00$, purchases a $1 \,kVA$ $UPS$ (uninterrupted power supply) battery. A day before the exam, $10$ friends arrive to the student's home with their laptops and all connect their laptops to the $UPS$. Assume that each laptop has a constant power requirement of $90 \,W$. Consider the following statements.

$I.$ All the $10$ laptops can be powered by the $UPS$, if connected directly.

$II.$ All the $10$ laptops can be powered, if connected using an extension box with a $3 \,A$ fuse.

$III.$ If all the $10$ friends use the laptop for $5 \,h$, then the cost of the consumed electricity is about $₹ 22.50.$

Select the correct option with the true statements.

  • A$I$ only
  • B$I$ and $II$ only
  • C$I$ and $III$ only
  • D$II$ and $III$ only

    $12$ cells each having the same emf are connected in series and are kept in a closed box. Some of the cells are wrongly connected. This battery is connected in series with an ammeter and two cells identical with each other and also identical with the previous cells. The current is $3\, A$ when the external cells aid this battery and is $2\,A$ when the cells oppose the battery. How many cells in the battery are wrongly connected :-
