Solution

The correct option is D: Rs.555

Dimension of the room is : 5 m×4 m×3 m

Surface area of 4 walls =2h(l+b)

and, surface area of ceiling =l×b

Total surface area to be painted is
= Surface area of walls + ceiling area
=[2h(l+b)]+(l×b)
=[2×3×(5+4)]+5×4
=(2×3×9)+20
=54+20
=74 m2

Cost of white washing 1 m2 area =Rs.7.50

Therefore, the cost of white the 4 walls and ceiling =Rs.(74×7.50)=Rs.555
