A domestic load consists of 10 lamps of 100 W each, three fans of 60 W each and two heaters of 1 kW each, all the loads operating for 1 hour. Energy consumed is measured using an energy-meter having a constant of 1500 revolutions per kWh. The number of revolutions recorded by the meter is 4500. The percentage error in the energy-meter reading is:

Direction: It consists of two statements, one labeled as ‘Statement (I)’ and the others as ‘Statement (II)’. You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answer using the codes given below: Statement (I): A Watt-hour meter must be calibrated at both full-rated load as well as at 10% of rated load.Statement (II): The source of error at full load is inaccurate damping and at light loads, the torque is not exactly proportional to load.
