Energy consumed by $100$ watt bulb working for $2$ hours

$=\frac{100}{1000} kW \times 2$ hour $=0.2 kW h$

Energy consumed by four $40$ watt bulbs working everyday for $4$ hours

$=\frac{40 \times 4 \times 4}{1000} kWh =0.64 kW h$

Total energy consumed everyday

$=(0.20+0.64) kW h =0.84 kW h$

Total energy consumed in $30$ days

$=0.84 kW h \times 30=25.2 kW h$
