The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Area of the Four Walls The area of the four walls of the room can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area of 4 walls} = 2 \times (l + b) \times h \] where: - \( l = 7.5 \, \text{m} \) (length) - \( b = 4.5 \, \text{m} \) (breadth) - \( h = 3.0 \, \text{m} \) (height) Substituting the values: \[ \text{Area of 4 walls} = 2 \times (7.5 + 4.5) \times 3 = 2 \times 12 \times 3 = 72 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Area of the Roof The area of the roof can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area of roof} = l \times b \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Area of roof} = 7.5 \times 4.5 = 33.75 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Area of the Door The area of the door can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area of door} = \text{height} \times \text{width} = 2.0 \times 1.0 = 2.0 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Area of the Windows The area of one window can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area of one window} = 1.2 \times 0.75 = 0.9 \, \text{m}^2 \] Since there are 2 windows: \[ \text{Area of 2 windows} = 2 \times 0.9 = 1.8 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Total Area to be Painted The total area to be painted is given by: \[ \text{Total area to be painted} = \text{Area of 4 walls} + \text{Area of roof} - \text{Area of door} - \text{Area of 2 windows} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Total area to be painted} = 72 + 33.75 - 2 - 1.8 = 101.95 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Cost of White Washing The cost of white washing is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Cost} = \text{Total area to be painted} \times \text{Rate per square meter} \] Given the rate is Rs. 1.20 per square meter: \[ \text{Cost} = 101.95 \times 1.20 = 122.34 \, \text{Rs.} \] ### Final Answer The cost of white washing the walls and roof of the room is **Rs. 122.34**. ---
