Solution

The correct option is A

₹145.60


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 = 8 m × 4 m = 32 m2

Door’s area = 2.4 m × 1.2 m = 2.88 m2

Area to be painted = (32 – 2.88) m2 = 29.12 m2

Cost of painting = ₹ 5 per sq m

Cost of painting the wall = cost per sq.m x area to be painted

= 5 × 29.12 m2 = ₹ 145.60
