The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know: - The area of the four walls of the room = 120 m² - The height of the room = 4 m - The length of the room is twice its breadth. ### Step 2: Define variables Let: - The breadth of the room = \( x \) meters - The length of the room = \( 2x \) meters (since the length is twice the breadth) ### Step 3: Write the formula for the area of the four walls The formula for the area of the four walls of a room is given by: \[ \text{Area of four walls} = 2 \times (l + b) \times h \] Substituting the values we have: \[ 120 = 2 \times (2x + x) \times 4 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Now, simplify the equation: \[ 120 = 2 \times (3x) \times 4 \] \[ 120 = 24x \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), divide both sides by 24: \[ x = \frac{120}{24} = 5 \text{ meters} \] ### Step 6: Find the length of the room Now that we have \( x \), we can find the length: \[ \text{Length} = 2x = 2 \times 5 = 10 \text{ meters} \] ### Step 7: Find the area of the floor The area of the floor (which is a rectangle) is given by: \[ \text{Area of floor} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \text{Area of floor} = 10 \times 5 = 50 \text{ m}^2 \] ### Final Answer The area of the floor is \( 50 \, \text{m}^2 \). ---
