Correct Answer :

Option C

1473.52 sq. inch

Solution :

The correct option is 1473.52 sq. inch.


Step 1: Understand the dimensions of the table and convert them to inches.
From the table provided in the question:
Length of the table = 3 feet
Breadth of the table = 4 feet

Since 1 foot = 12 inches:
Length of the table in inches = 3×12=36 inches
Breadth of the table in inches = 4×12=48 inches

Total area of the top of the table:
Total Area=Length×Breadth

Total Area=36×48=1728 sq. inch


Step 2: Calculate the area covered by the 3 books.
From the table, the dimensions of one book's surface (base area) placed on the table are:
Length = 12 inches
Breadth = 6 inches

Area of one book:
Area of 1 book=12×6=72 sq. inch

Area covered by 3 books:
Area of 3 books=3×72=216 sq. inch


Step 3: Calculate the area covered by the circular lamp base.
The radius of the lamp base (r) = 3.5 inches.

Area covered by the circular lamp:
Area of lamp=πr2

Area of lamp=227×(3.5)2=227×12.25=38.48 sq. inch (or accurately 38.48451 sq. inch using standard π3.14159 gives 3.14159×12.2538.48 sq. inch).


Step 4: Calculate total covered area and uncovered area of the table.
Total area covered on the table by books and lamp:
Total Covered Area=216+38.48=254.48 sq. inch

Uncovered area of the table:
Uncovered Area=Total Area of Table-Total Covered Area

Uncovered Area=1728-254.48=1473.52 sq. inch

Hence, the area of the table which is uncovered by any of the objects is 1473.52 sq. inch.
