Answer

Cost = ₹ 210 / 100 m2 = ₹ 2.1 / m2.

Given, l = 25 m and diameter = 14 m.

Radius = Diameter2\dfrac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = 142\dfrac{14}{2} = 7m.

Curved surface area of cone = πrl.

Putting values in equation,

Curved surface area = 227×7×25\dfrac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 25 = 22 × 25 = 550 m2.

Cost of white washing 1 m2 = ₹ 2.1

∴ Cost of white washing 550 m2 = ₹ 2.1 × 550 = ₹ 1155.

Hence, the cost of white washing 550 m2 = ₹ 1155.
