Answer

Given:

Dimensions of the room are 3 m long, 2 m broad and 2 m high.

Dimensions of the door are 2 m x 1 m.

Dimensions of the windows are 1 m x 0.5 m.

Remaining area = Total surface area of room - (Area of door + Area of window)

Total surface area of room = 2(l + b)h

= 2(3 + 2)2 m2

= 2 x 5 x 2 m2

= 20 m2

Area of door = l x b

= 2 x 1 m2

= 2 m2

Area of window = l x b

Area of two window = 2 x l x b

= 2 x 1 x 0.5 m2

= 1 m2

Remaining area = 20 - (2 + 1) m2

= 20 - 3 m2

= 17 m2

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
