Total cost of matting floor = Rs 91.80
rate of matting = 0.85 / m2
Then area of floor = 91.80 / 0.85 = 108 m2
But are of floor = l * b = 108 m2
given l = 12m
then b= 108/12 = 9m
Cost of papering wall = Rs 340.20
Rate of papering = 1.35 / m2
Total surface area of walls = 340.20 / 1.35 = 252 m2
But surface are of walls can be written as = 2* (l+b) * h
or 252 = 2* (l+b) * h = 2* (12+ 9 ) * h
or h = 252/ 42 = 6 m
Therefore height of the room is 6 m
