E/W= 5 * 0.5 * 0.4 = 1 m3.
The Cost of E/W= 1 * 450 = 450.
The Cost of E/W= 1 * 450 = 450.

According to the answer, the dimensions should be in cm.
So,
Quantity is - (500 cm ) x (400 cm ) x (500 cm) or 5m x 4m x 5m = 20m x 5m =100m
& rate is 450 for %cum means 450 rs for 100cum and answer is 450.

5*0.5*0.4=1cum at 450 = Rs.450 is right. So the answer is C.

I think that Rs. 450 is given for per 100 cum.
Which means its Rs. 4.5 per cum.
Which means its Rs. 4.5 per cum.

@Rajnish
The length of drain = 5m.
Width of drain as per figure = 0.5m.
Depth of drain as per figure = 0.4m.
Total qty = 5 * 0.5 * 0.4 = 1 cum.
As per the question, cum excavation rate is 450%.
So the total cost required for excavation of drain is = 1 * 450 = Rs.450.
Therefore, the answer is C.
The length of drain = 5m.
Width of drain as per figure = 0.5m.
Depth of drain as per figure = 0.4m.
Total qty = 5 * 0.5 * 0.4 = 1 cum.
As per the question, cum excavation rate is 450%.
So the total cost required for excavation of drain is = 1 * 450 = Rs.450.
Therefore, the answer is C.
