Acknowledgement

When a book like this comes into existence, it was very hard to name and thank all the people that helped me shape this book. It took me more than six years to consolidate and format all the content in a manner that may benefit the readers. However, I always thank my wife for her continued patience and understanding. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my old aged father who is also my best teacher, for his continued encouragement and invaluable support. I would like to thank my son Anurag and Gaurav for the technical help I receive from them to design this book from time to time.

Preface
As I mentioned in previous part of the book that the idea of this book came to my mind after watching Kaun Banega Crorepati and watching many people drop out without winning enough. I think most of the time the reason was either not enough preparation or lack of resources to enhance the knowledge required to win big such a game. Thats why I started writing this book on various subjects so that it can offer the basic guidance to the people preparing for a game like this. The Key to Success has been written for the people trying to prepare for Kaun Banega Crorepati. Therefore the scope of this book is not to deep dive on any subject rather swim across various layers which is what one need to qualify for winning large sum on Hot Seat. Now all of you are enjoying KBC Season 6. Hope with the help of this book, somebody may be benefitted there. However, this book cannot be used to gain exhaustive knowledge on any subject but it provides enough information that you can easily remember and be better prepared for the game. At the end of the part of this book, a multi-choice Questionnaire is given that has only one correct answer. Try to attempt those questions on your own and then check the correct answers from the Answer Sheet.

How to calculate the monthly Consumption

It is very important to know the electric consumption of the house

per month. To ease, you can calculate monthly consumption by following method. Number of items multiply by Wattage multiply by number of hours of use multiply by 30 days multiply by Ampere (which is 1.5) then divide by 0.7 (Load Factor) and then divide by 1000 = Total Units.

As per above statistics, a domestic fridge consumes 50 units per month, Air Conditioner 150 units, Ceiling Fan 40 units, C.F.L. 3 to 4 units, Tube light 810 units, Television or LCD 50-60 units, Washing Machine 30 units per month.
