Given dimensions of the room:

Length:
\displaystyle\sf 12.5 \,m

Width:
\displaystyle\sf 9 \,m

Height:
\displaystyle\sf 7 \,m

Area of each wall:


\displaystyle\sf Area_1 = 12.5 * 7 = 87.5 \,m^2


\displaystyle\sf Area_2 = 12.5 * 7 = 87.5 \,m^2


\displaystyle\sf Area_3 = 9 * 7 = 63 \,m^2


\displaystyle\sf Area_4 = 9 * 7 = 63 \,m^2

Area of each door:


\displaystyle\sf Area_{\text{door}} = 2.5 * 1.2 = 3 \,m^2

Area of each window:


\displaystyle\sf Area_{\text{window}} = 1.5 * 1 = 1.5 \,m^2

Total area occupied by doors:


\displaystyle\sf Total_{\text{doors}} = 2 * Area_{\text{door}} = 2 * 3 = 6 \,m^2

Total area occupied by windows:


\displaystyle\sf Total_{\text{windows}} = 4 * Area_{\text{window}} = 4 * 1.5 = 6 \,m^2

Total wall area excluding doors and windows:


\displaystyle\sf Total_{\text{wall\,area}} = (Area_1 + Area_2 + Area_3 + Area_4) - Total_{\text{doors}} - Total_{\text{windows}}


\displaystyle\sf = (87.5 + 87.5 + 63 + 63) - 6 - 6


\displaystyle\sf = 275 - 6 - 6


\displaystyle\sf = 263 \,m^2

Cost of painting the walls:


\displaystyle\sf Cost_{\text{painting}} = Total_{\text{wall\,area}} * 3.50


\displaystyle\sf = 263 * 3.50


\displaystyle\sf = 920.50 \,Rs

Therefore, the cost of painting the walls of the room at Rs. 3.50 per square meter is Rs. 920.50.
