(ii) If Pankaj’s father bought type-II tank and wants to cover it with a cloth that costs Rs 45 per m², then find the total cost of cloth used (if all the faces of tank are covered with cloth).

1 4635  
2 4435  
3 4530  
4 4630  

Ans.

(1)

Total Surface Area (TSA) of type-II tank

TSA=2(lb+bh+hl)

=2(5×4+4×3.5+3.5×5)

=2(20+14+17.5)=103 m2

Cost of cloth required:=Rs (45×103)=Rs 4635
