    The length and the breadth of a conference hall are in the ratio 7 : 4 and its perimeter is 110 m. Find: (i) area of the floor of the hall. (ii) number of tiles, each a rectangle of size 25 cm x 20 cm, required for flooring of the hall. (iii) the cost of the tiles at the rate of ₹ 1,400 per hundred tiles. (i) area of the floor of the hall. (ii) number of tiles, each a rectangle of size 25 cm x 20 cm, required for flooring of the hall. (iii) the cost of the tiles at the rate of ₹ 1,400 per hundred tiles.
    Ans : Ratio in length and breadth = 7 : 4
    Perimeter = 110 m
    ∴ Length + Breadth = 110/2 = 55m
    Sum of ratios = 7 + 4 = 11
    ∴ Length = (55 × 7)/11
    = 35 m
    And Breadth = (55 × 4)/11
    = 20m (i) Area of floor = l × b
    = 35 × 20
    = 700 m2 (ii) Size of tile = 25 cm × 20 cm
    = (25 × 20)/(100 × 100)
    = 1/20 m2
    ∴ Number of tiles = Area of floor/Area of one tile
    = (700 × 20)/1
    = 14000 (iii) Cost of tiles = ₹1400 per 100 tiles
    ∴ Total cost = (14000 × 1400)/100
    = ₹196000 (i) Area of floor = l × b
    = 35 × 20
    = 700 m2 (ii) Size of tile = 25 cm × 20 cm
    = (25 × 20)/(100 × 100)
    = 1/20 m2
    ∴ Number of tiles = Area of floor/Area of one tile
    = (700 × 20)/1
    = 14000 (iii) Cost of tiles = ₹1400 per 100 tiles
    ∴ Total cost = (14000 × 1400)/100
    = ₹196000

    area of the floor of the hall.
    Ans : Area of floor = l × b
    = 35 × 20
    = 700 m2
  • #19-ii
    number of tiles, each a rectangle of size 25 cm x 20 cm, required for flooring of the hall.
    Ans : Size of tile = 25 cm × 20 cm
    = (25 × 20)/(100 × 100)
    = 1/20 m2
    ∴ Number of tiles = Area of floor/Area of one tile
    = (700 × 20)/1
    = 14000
  • #19-iii
    the cost of the tiles at the rate of ₹ 1,400 per hundred tiles.
    Ans : Cost of tiles = ₹1400 per 100 tiles
    ∴ Total cost = (14000 × 1400)/100
    = ₹196000
