The dimensions of a room are 10m x 7m x 5m. There are 2 doors and 3 windows in the room. The dimensions of the doors are 1m x 3m. One window is of size 2m x 1.5m and the other 2 windows are of size 1m x 1.5m. The cost of painting the walls at Rs. 3 per sq m is

A) Rs.174	B) Rs.274
C) Rs.374	D) Rs.474

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.474

Area of 4 walls = 2(l+b)h
=2(10+7) x 5 = 170 sq m
Area of 2 doors and 3 windows = 2(1x3)+(2x1.5)+2(1x1.5) = 12 sq m
area to be planted = 170 -12 = 158 sq m

Cost of painting = Rs. 158 x 3 = Rs. 474
