A room is 15m long, 4m broad and 3m height. Find the cost of white washing its four walls at 50p per m2 ?
Correct answer: B. Rs.57
- A. Rs.60
- B. Rs.57
- C. Rs.55
- D. Rs.52
Explanation
The area of the four walls is 2h(l + b) = 2 x 3 m x (15 m + 4 m) = 114 m2. At 50 paise per m2, or Rs.0.50 per m2, the cost is 114 m2 x Rs.0.50/m2 = Rs.57. Students may choose Rs.60, option a, by rounding the wall area or ignoring the breadth term.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
