Options:

12,600

10,000

11,400

18,000

Correct Answer:

10,000

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of four walls = 2(l + b) × h

We have,

Length = 12 m

Breadth = 8 m

Height = 10 m

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 =  25 × 400 = 10000
