Solution

The correct option is C

58 m2, Rs 290


Since the door is not to be painted, we have to subtract the area of door from that of wall's area.
Wall's area = 8m × 8m = 64 m2
Door's area = 3m × 2m = 6 m2

Area to be painted = 64 - 6 = 58 m2
It costs Rs 5 per m2

Cost to paint = 58 × 5 = Rs 290
