Given:- 

A hemispherical bowl has a radius = 7cm 

The cost of painting it at the rate of Rs.40 per 20 cm 

Formula used:-

Curved Surface Area of Hemisphere = 2πr²

Calculation:- 

Inside Surface Area = 2π(7 cm)² = 2 × 22/7 ×  49 = 308 cm²

Outside Surface Area = 2π(7 cm)² = 308 cm²

Total Surface Area = Inside Surface Area + Outside Surface Area

Total Surface Area = 616cm² 

The cost of painting this area at the given rate of Rs. 40 for 20 cm²

Cost = (Total Surface Area / 20 cm²)   × Rs. 40

Cost = (616 / 20) × 40 = 1232 Rs.     

∴The cost of painting both the inside and outside of the hemispherical Rs.1232.
