Question Detail
The cost of the paint is Rs. 36.50 per kg. If 1 kg of paint covers 16 square feet, how much will it cost to paint outside of a cube having 8 feet each side.
- Rs. 850
- Rs. 860
- Rs. 876
- Rs. 886
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
We will first calculate the Surface area of cube, then we will calculate the quantity of paint required to get answer.
Here we go,
\begin{aligned}
\text{Surface area =}6a^2 \\
= 6 * 8^2 = 384 \text{sq feet} \\
\text{Quantity required =}\frac{384}{16} \\
= 24 kg\\
\text{Cost of painting =} 36.50*24 \\
= Rs. 876
\end{aligned}
