In a house a hall is 20 m long, 15m wide and 5m high. Its interior has to be covered with mat. What will be the total expenditure if it costs Rs. 30 per square m? Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) s . 28500
B) s . 50000
C) s . 57000
D) s . 60000
E) s . 62000

Rationale: "length ( l ) = 20 m , breadth ( b ) = 15 m and height ( h ) = 5 m total area of the hall to be covered with mat = 2 ( lb + bh + hl ) = 2 ( 20 * 15 + 15 * 5 + 5 * 20 ) = 2 ( 300 + 75 + 100 ) = 2 * 475 = 950 sq . m total expenditure = 30 * 950 = rs . 28,500 a"
