The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Area of four walls: \[ =2h(l+b) \] where: \[ l=22,\quad h=6.5 \]

Step 1:
Substitute values.
\[ 2(6.5)(22+b)=442 \] \[ 13(22+b)=442 \]

Step 2:
Find breadth.
\[ 22+b=\frac{442}{13} \] \[ 22+b=34 \] \[ b=12 \]

Step 3:
Find floor area.
Floor area: \[ l\times b \] \[ =22\times12 \] \[ =264 \] Thus, the area of the floor is: \[ \boxed{264} \]
