Answer;

=25.99 ohms

Explanation;

A month has 30 days equivalent to 720 hours.

1000 kwh is equivalent to 1000000 watt,

Then 1000000 watt divided by 720

wattage per hour=1388.9

Therefore;

Wattage/hr divided by line voltage is equivalent av. current

= 1388.9 W/hr รท 190 v

= 7.31 amperes

Assuming that the load is 'resistive' and not inductive

Resistance is voltage divided by current;

= 190/7.31

=25.99 ohms
