The volume of a wall whose height is 10 times its width and whose length is 8 times its height is 51.2 m$$^3$$ . What is the cost(in ₹) of painting the wall on one side at the rate of ₹100/ m$$^2$$ ?
Let the width of the wall = b
Height of the wall = 10b
Length of the wall = 8 x Height = 8 x 10b = 80b
Volume of the wall = 51.2 m$$^3$$
length x width x height = 51.2
80b x b x 10b = 51.2
8000b$$^3$$ = 512
b = $$\frac{8}{20}$$
b = $$\frac{2}{5}$$ m
Area of one side of the wall = length x height = 80b x 10b = 800b$$^2$$ = 800 x $$\frac{4}{25}$$ = 128 m$$^2$$
The cost of painting the wall on one side at the rate of ₹100/ m$$^2$$ = 128 x 100 = ₹12800
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
