Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 10,000.

We know that,

Area of four walls = 2(l + b) × h

Where,

Length = I, Breadth = b, and Height = h

Now,

Area of four walls = 2(l + b) × h

⇒ 2(12 + 8) × 10

⇒ 2 × 20 × 10 = 400 m2

Cost of 1 m2 wall painting = Rs. 25

Cost of 400 m2 wall painting = Rs. 25 × 400 = 10000

Thus,

The total cost (in Rs.) of whitewashing only all four walls of the room is Rs. 10000.
