Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Area of the four walls of the room is the lateral surface area $ =2lb+2bh $
$ l=12m, $ $ b=8m, $ $ h=10m $
Area of the four walls $ =2\times 12\times 10+2\times 8\times 10 $
$ =400m^{2} $
Total area to be painted $ =400-35=365m^{2} $
Total cost of painting the walls
$ =365\times 25=Rs\text{. 9125} $
