NCERT Solution: Surface Areas and Volumes

Solution: 

External height (l) of book self = 85 cm

External breadth (b) of book self = 25 cm

External height (h) of book self = 110 cm

External surface area of shelf while leaving out the front face of the shelf

lh + 2 (lb + bh)

= [85 x 110 + 2 (85 x 25 + 25 x 110)] cm2

= (9350 + 9750) cm2

= 19100 cm2

Area of front face = [85 x 110 - 75 x 100 + 2 (75 x 5)] cm2

= 1850 + 750 cm2

= 2600 cm2

Area to be polished = (19100 + 2600) cm2 = 21700 cm2

Cost of polishing 1 cm2 area = Rs 0.20

Cost of polishing 21700 cm2 area Rs (21700 x 0.20) = Rs 4340

 

It can be observed that length (l), breadth (b), and height (h) of each row of the book shelf is 75 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm respectively.

Area to be painted in 1 row = 2 (l + hb + lh

= [2 (75 + 30) x 20 + 75 x 30] cm2

= (4200 + 2250) cm2

= 6450 cm2

Area to be painted in 3 rows = (3 x 6450) cm2 = 19350 cm2

Cost of painting 1 cm2 area = Rs 0.10

Cost of painting 19350 cm2 area = Rs (19350 x 0.1)

= Rs 1935

Total expense required for polishing and painting = Rs (4340 + 1935)

= Rs 6275

Therefore, it will cost Rs 6275 for polishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf.
