The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first understand the given information and then calculate the required cost of painting the room when its dimensions are tripled. ### Step 1: Understand the Cost of Painting the Original Room The cost of painting the four walls of the original room is given as Rs. 350. ### Step 2: Formula for the Area of Four Walls The area of the four walls of a room can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area of four walls} = 2 \times (L + B) \times H \] where \(L\) is the length, \(B\) is the breadth, and \(H\) is the height of the room. ### Step 3: Calculate the Area of the New Room If the dimensions of the room (length, breadth, and height) are tripled, then the new dimensions will be: - New Length = \(3L\) - New Breadth = \(3B\) - New Height = \(3H\) The area of the four walls of the new room will be: \[ \text{Area of four walls of new room} = 2 \times (3L + 3B) \times (3H) \] This can be simplified as: \[ = 2 \times 3 \times (L + B) \times 3H = 18 \times (2 \times (L + B) \times H) \] ### Step 4: Relate the Areas Notice that the area of the four walls of the new room is 9 times the area of the four walls of the original room: \[ \text{Area of new room} = 9 \times \text{Area of original room} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Cost of Painting the New Room Since the cost of painting is directly proportional to the area, the cost of painting the new room will be: \[ \text{Cost of painting new room} = 9 \times \text{Cost of painting original room} \] Substituting the given cost: \[ = 9 \times 350 = 3150 \] ### Final Answer The cost of painting the room three times in length, breadth, and height respectively will be Rs. 3150. ---
