Given:

Length of the hall = 10 m

Breadth of the hall = 20 m

Height of the hall = 15 m

Rate of whitewashing of walls = Rs.10.20/m2

Formula used:

Area of rectangle = L × B

Area of four walls = 2 × H × (L + B)

Where, L = length; B = breadth; H = height

Calculation:

The total area of the hall = Area of four walls + area of the ceiling

⇒ 2 × H × (L + B) + (L × B)

⇒ 2 × 15 × (10 + 20) + (10 × 20)

⇒ 2 × 15 × 30 + 200

⇒ 900 + 200 = 1100 m2

Total cost = 1100 × 10.20 = Rs.11220

∴ The correct answer is Rs.11220.
