Solution

Given length =12,m  Breadth = 9m and Height =  4m.

Total surface area of tank`=2(lb+bh+hl)`

`=2[12xx9+9xx4+12xx4]`

`=2[108+36+48]`

`=384m^2`

`"Now length of iron sheet"=(384)/("width of iron sheet" )`

`=384/2=194m.`

Cost of iron sheet = length of sheet xx cost rate 

`=192xx5=Rs.960`
