Length of a class-room is two times its height and its breadth is 1and half its height the cost of white-washing the walls at the rate of Rs 1.60 per m2 is Rs 179.20. Find the cost of tiling the rate of Rs 6.75 per meter square

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let height of the room be 'h' m.

∴ length of the room=2hm

breadth of the room=

2

3

hm.

area of 4 walls=

1.60

179.20

=112m

2(l+b)×h=112

2(2h+

=112

h

112×2

=16

h=

16

=4m

length=4×2=8m, breadth=

×4=6m

for, tiling the floor area=l×b=8×6=48m

cost of tiling=48×6.75=Rs.324
