    B) Rs 458

    C) Rs 558 

    D) Rs 568

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Explanation Area to be plastered \[=\,\,\,[2(\ell +b)\times h]+(\ell \times b)\] \[= \{[2\left( 25 + 12 \right)\times 6] + (25\times 12)\}{{m}^{2}}= (444 +300){{m}^{2}}=744\,{{m}^{2}}\]\[=744\,{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,Cost of plastering\,\,=\,\,\left( 744\times \frac{75}{100} \right)\,\,=\,\,558.\]
