    Question

    The total cost of flooring a room at Rs.12.50 per m2 is Rs.3,675. If the breadth and length are in the ratio 2 : 3, find its length.

    A.

    21 m

    B.

    15 m

    C.

    14 m

    D.

    18 m

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Length and breadth ratio = 3 : 2
    Cost of flooring = 12.50 per sq.m
    Formula Used:
    Area = Length × Breadth
    Solution:
    Area = Total Cost/Cost per m2
    367512.5\frac{3675}{12.5}​​​
    =294m2
    Let length and breadth of flooring 3a and 2a in meters respectively.
    3a × 2a = 294
    6a2 = 294
    a2 = 49
    a = 7
    Length of flooring = 7 × 3
    = 21m
