It is given that the length of door is 2\; m and breadth is  1\; m and the length of the wall is 4.5\; m and the breadth is3.6\; m 

Now, we know that

Area of rectangle is = length \times breath

Thus, the area of the wall is

\Rightarrow 4.5 \times 3.6 =16.2 \ m^2

And

Area of the door is

\Rightarrow 2 \times 1 =2 \ m^2

Now, Area to be painted = Area of wall - Area of door = 16.2 - 2 = 14.2 \ m^2

 Now, the cost of whitewashing the wall, at the rate of Rs.20\; per\; m^{2} is 

\Rightarrow 14.2 \times 20 = 284 \ Rs

Therefore, the cost of whitewashing the wall, at the rate of Rs.20\; per\; m^{2} is Rs 284
