The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into three parts as per the question. ### Step 1: Calculate the Area of the Walls Excluding Door and Windows 1. **Identify the dimensions of the room:** - Length (L) = 5 m - Width (B) = 4.5 m - Height (H) = 3.6 m 2. **Calculate the total surface area of the four walls:** The formula for the area of the four walls of a cuboid is: \[ \text{Area of walls} = 2H(L + B) \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Area of walls} = 2 \times 3.6 \times (5 + 4.5) = 2 \times 3.6 \times 9.5 \] \[ = 68.4 \, \text{m}^2 \] 3. **Calculate the area of the door:** - Dimensions of the door = 1.5 m by 2.4 m \[ \text{Area of door} = 1.5 \times 2.4 = 3.6 \, \text{m}^2 \] 4. **Calculate the area of the two windows:** - Dimensions of each window = 1 m by 0.75 m \[ \text{Area of one window} = 1 \times 0.75 = 0.75 \, \text{m}^2 \] \[ \text{Area of two windows} = 2 \times 0.75 = 1.5 \, \text{m}^2 \] 5. **Calculate the area of walls excluding the door and windows:** \[ \text{Area excluding door and windows} = \text{Area of walls} - \text{Area of door} - \text{Area of windows} \] \[ = 68.4 - 3.6 - 1.5 = 63.3 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Cost of Distempering the Walls 1. **Cost per square meter for distempering:** - Cost = 4.50 rupees/m² 2. **Calculate the total cost:** \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Area excluding door and windows} \times \text{Cost per m}^2 \] \[ = 63.3 \times 4.50 = 284.85 \, \text{rupees} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Cost of Painting the Roof 1. **Calculate the area of the roof:** The area of the roof can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area of roof} = L \times B \] \[ = 5 \times 4.5 = 22.5 \, \text{m}^2 \] 2. **Cost per square meter for painting:** - Cost = 9 rupees/m² 3. **Calculate the total cost of painting the roof:** \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Area of roof} \times \text{Cost per m}^2 \] \[ = 22.5 \times 9 = 202.50 \, \text{rupees} \] ### Summary of Results - (i) Area of walls excluding door and windows = **63.3 m²** - (ii) Cost of distempering the walls = **284.85 rupees** - (iii) Cost of painting the roof = **202.50 rupees**
