Solution

The correct option is C

Rs. 360


Since the number plate is a rectangle, the diagonal divides it into two triangles of equal areas.
This means the area of the red triangle and the blue triangle is equal.
Area of the number plate = Area of red triangle + Area of blue triangle
2×Area of red/blue triangle
Area of red/blue triangle=12(Area of the number plate)=12 (240)=120 cm2

Therefore cost of painting the number plate
= cost of painting of red triangle and blue triangle
= Rs.[(120×2)+(120×1)]
= Rs. [(120) (2 + 1)] = Rs. 360
Hence, the total cost of painting the number plate is Rs 360.
