Dear student,

Given that,            Inner edge of the cubical tank(a)=2m=200 cm The top is covered with a lid and so it becomes a closed solid           Total surface area=6×a×a                                     =6×200×200                                     =240000The inner surface of the tank including the lid is to be covered with tiles of edge=25 cm        Number of tiles required=Total surface areaArea of each tile                                          =24000025×25                                       =384Cost of tiles=Rs 360 per dozen          Number of dozens=38412  =32 Therefore, total amount required for tiles=360×32=Rs 11520
