Let the breadth of the room be b .

Then, length of the room l = 1.5 b

Area carpeted by Rs 3.25 = 1m2

area carpeted with Rs 175.50 is the area of the floor.

the area of the floor =

therefore lb=54

(1.5b)*b=54

therefore the breadth of the room  is 6 m.

length of the room =1.5*6= 9 m

let the height of the room be h m.

 

area of the walls =

since 1 door and 2 windows occupy 8 meter square.

therefore area of papering =30h-8  meter square......(1)

 

cost of papering the walls at Rs. 1.40 per m2 is Rs. 240.80.

therefore area of papering = 

from the (1)

therefore the height of the room is 6 m.

hence the dimensions of the room is 9*6*6
