Hint: Calculate the volume of the wall and subtract this from the space occupied by doors and windows.
Volume =length×width×thickness.

Complete step by step answer:
Given, the length of wall is 8m and height of wall is 4m and thickness is 35cm that is 0.35m. Consider the diagram:

Therefore, the actual volume of the wall is 8×4×0.35=11.2 cubic meters.
Now, the door has dimensions of 2m×1m and it will occupy the thickness that is equal to the thickness of the wall because the door is through the wall. So, the dimensions of the door are 2m×1m×0.35m.
Therefore, door occupies a volume of
 2×1×0.35=0.70cubic meters.
The wall has two windows of dimensions 1.20m×1mand it will occupy the thickness that is equal to the thickness of the wall because the windows are through the walls. So, the dimensions of windows are 1.20×1m×0.35m.
Therefore, the volume occupied by windows is 2(1.20×1×0.35)=0.84cubic meters because there are two windows.

We have expenditure on the volume of (11.20.700.84)=9.66cubic meters because the volume occupied by doors and windows is left for their construction.

Given, the expenditure for making the wall is Rs.1500 per cubic meter.
The volume of the wall to be constructed is 9.66 cubic meters.
Therefore, expenditure for constructing the wall is ( 9.66×1500)rupees =14,490rupees.
Hence, the expenditure for making the wall is 14,490 rupees.

Note: Students must take care while converting m to cubic meters. This may lead to the get wrong answers which may vary with the point. Here, thickness also included, so pay attention while doing the sum.
