Area of rectangular door = length x breadth = 2 m x 1 m = 2 m²
Area of wall including door = length x breadth = 4.5 m x 3.6 m = 16.2 m²
Now, Area of wall excluding door
= Area of wall including door – Area of door
= 16.2 – 2 = 14.2 m²
Since, The rate of white washing of 1 m2 the wall = ₹20
Therefore, the rate of white washing of 14.2 m2 the wall = 20 x 14.2 = ₹284
Thus, the cost of white washing the wall excluding the door is ₹284.
