Q15 of 99 Page 264

A big hall of house of Mousumi is in the form of rectangle of which length and breadth are in the ration 9 : 5 and perimeter is 140 meter. Mousumi wants to cover the floor of her hall with rectangular tiles of dimension 25 cm. × 20 cm. The rate of each 100 tiles is Rs. 500. Let us calculate the cost for covering the floor with tiles is.


Or 5L = 9B


Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(L + B) = 140m


We know that L = B


B + B = 70


B = 70


B = 25m


L = 45m


Area of rectangle = 25m × 45m = 1125m2


Area of each tile = 25cm × 20cm = 0.25m × 0.2m = 0.05m2


Number of tiles required = = 22500


Rate for 100 tiles = Rs. 500


Rate for 1 tile = Rs. 5


Rate for 22500 tiles = Rs. 22500 × 5 = Rs. 1,12,500
