Answers
Answer:
(a) 28/3 Litres
(b) Rs. 2100
Explanation:
⇒ Surface Area of walls = 2H×(L+B)
= 2×4×(14+8)
= 8×22
= 176 m²
⇒ Area of walls to be painted = Area of 4 walls - (Area of 4 windows + Area of 1 door)
= 176 m² - [4×(1×1.5) + 1×(1×2)]
= 176 m² - [6 + 2]m²
= 176 m² - 8 m²
= 168 m²
⇒ Litres of paint required for 18 m² = 1 L
Litres of paint required for 168 m² = 168÷18
= 28/3 Litres ←ANSWER
⇒ Cost of 1 Litre paint = Rs. 225
∴ Cost of 28/3 Litres of paint = [28/3]×225
= Rs. 2100 ←ANSWER
