Question

C8. In a Siberian village with a population of 1000, before the arrival of Communism, every citizen used to live in his or her own identical habitation cube and pay a monthly heating bill of 500 rubles. After the Revolution, all citizens became comrades; all the individual cubes were stacked together to form a single large communal habitation cube; and the heating costs were shared out equally among the residents. What was each comrade's monthly heating bill (in rubles) after the arrival of Communism?

Explanation / Answer

Either some data in the question is missing or its a trick question. However, please find the solution below:

Population of the Village= 1000

Monthly heating bill paid by individuals before communism= 500 rubles

Total expense of the village on heating before communism= 500000 rubles

Since there is no change mentioned in the heating consumption or the area of the habitation cube and also the population, the comrade's monthly bill after the arrival of communism would be = 500000/1000

= 500 rubles
