The sides of a triangular board are 13 meters, 14 meters and 15 meters. The cost of paining it at the rate of Rs. 8.75 per m 2 is?

• A. Rs. 722.50
• B. Rs. 688.80
• C. Rs. 735
• D. Rs. 730.80

Answer: (C)

s = (13 + 14 + 15 ) / 2 = 21, s-a = 8 , s-b = 7, s-c= 6? Area to be painted = ? [s(s-a) (s-b) (s-c)]=? [21 x 8 x 7 x 6] m2= 84 m2? Cost of painting = Rs. (84 x 8.75) = Rs. 735
