• B. ₹ 474
• C. ₹ 684
• D. ₹ 894

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

₹ 474

Answer 2

Area of 4 walls =$2(l+b)h =2(10+7)$ $\times$ 5
= 170 sq m
Area of 2 doors and 3 windows = 2(1$\times$3)+(2$\times$1.5)+2(1$\times$1.5)
= 12 sq m
Area to be planted = $170 -12 = 158 sq m$
Cost of painting = Rs. 158 $\times$ 3 = Rs. 474.
So the correct option is (B)
