Correct Answer: 12,400


Solution : The lateral surface area of the room = 2 × h × (l + b), where l = length, b = breadth, and h = height.
According to the question
Lateral surface area = Area of walls
= 2 × 10 × (12 + 8) = 20 × 20 = 400 m 2
and, Area of ceiling = 12 × 8 = 96 m 2
So, total cost of whitewashing = 25 × (400 + 96) = INR 12,400
Hence, the correct answer is 12,400.
