Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:

Total volume = 2800 cubic feet

Area of ceiling = 2800/28 = 100sqfeet

Total time taken = 1000.125 = 800min

= 13hr 20min

Time taken to paint four walls= 40 – 13* 13 = 26hr 40min

Since M is the midpoint of side PQ, the length of MQ is 2.

Hence, the area of? MQR = 1 2 × 2 × 4 = 4.

Also area of? NSR = 4. Thus, the unshaded area of the figure = 4 + 4 = 8.

Hence, the area of quadrilateral PMRN

= Area of the square PQRS – The unshaded area of the figure

= 16 – 8 = 8

Let the speed of A be x km/hr and speed of B be y km/hr, then:

55x=55y12..... (1)

Also,  55x=51y110..... (2)

On solving both equation (1) & (2) we get x = 11 km/hr and y = 10 km/hr.
