A door frame of dimensions 4m *5m is fixed on the wall of dimension 11...
The total area of the wall can be calculated by subtracting the area of the door from the total area of the wall.
The area of the wall is 11×11=121m2.
The area of the door is 4m×5m=20m2.
Therefore, the remaining area to be painted is 1212−202=101m2.
Now, multiply the remaining area by the labor charges per square meter to find the total labor charges:
Total labor charges=Area to be painted×Labor charges per square meter
Total labor charges=101m2×Rs 2.50/m2
Total labor charges=Rs 252.50
So, the total labor charges for painting the wall would be Rs 252.50.

A door frame of dimensions 4m *5m is fixed on the wall of dimension 11...
Total Area of the Wall
To find the total area of the wall, we calculate:
- Dimensions of the wall: 11m x 11m
- Total area of the wall = 11m * 11m = 121m²
Area of the Door Frame
Next, we calculate the area taken up by the door frame:
- Dimensions of the door frame: 4m x 5m
- Total area of the door frame = 4m * 5m = 20m²
Effective Area to be Painted
Now, we need to find the area of the wall that requires painting, which is the total area of the wall minus the area of the door frame:
- Effective area = Total area of the wall - Area of the door frame
- Effective area = 121m² - 20m² = 101m²
Labour Charges Calculation
The labour charges for painting are calculated based on the effective area:
- Labour charges per m² = Rs 2.50
- Total labour charges = Effective area * Labour charges per m²
- Total labour charges = 101m² * Rs 2.50 = Rs 252.50
Final Result
The total labour charges for painting the wall, after accounting for the door frame, is Rs 252.50. Therefore, the correct answer is:
- Option A: Rs. 252.50
