A tank is 25 m long, 12 m wide and 6 m deep. The cost of plastering its wall and bottom at75 Paisa per sq. m, is:

  • (A) Rs.456
  • (B) Rs.558
  • (C) Rs.458
  • (D) Rs.568
  • Solution: The area we require is to be plastered including the walls and the bottom (not the top).
  • Step 1: Dimensions
  • Length = 25 m
  • Width = 12 m
  • Depth = 6 m
  • Step 2: Area of walls
  • Walls = 2(l × h) + 2(w ×h)
  • = 2(25 ×6) + 2(12 ×6)
  • = 2(150) + 2(72)
  • = 300 + 144
  • = 444 m²
  • Step 3: Area of bottom
  • = l ×w = 25 × 12 = 300 m²
  • Step 4: Total area
  • = 444 + 300 = 744 m²
  • Step 5: Cost calculation
  • Cost per m² = 75 paisa = Rs. 0.75
  • Total cost = 744 × 0.75
  • = Rs. 558
  • Final Answer: (B) Rs. 558
