Correct Answer: Rs. 2220


Solution : The length, breadth, and height of a room are 10 m, 8 m, and 6 m, respectively.
Required Area = Curved Surface Area + Area of Ceiling
⇒ Required Area = [ 2h(l + b) ] + [ l × b ], where h = Height, l = Length, and b = Breadth
⇒ Required Area = [ 2 × 6(10 + 8) ] + [ 10 × 8 ]
⇒ Required Area = [ 2 × 108 ] + 80
⇒ Required Area = 216 + 80
⇒ Required Area = 296 m 2
Cost of whitewashing:
= Required Area × Rate
= 296 m 2 × 7.5
= Rs. 2220
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2220.
