Length of a room is twice its height and...

Length of a room is twice its height and its breadth is `1(1)/(2)` times its height. The cost of white washing the walls at the rate of 32 per sq. m is * 3,584. Find the cost of tiling the floor of the room at 135 per sq. m.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the information given in the question and use the formulas for surface area and area calculations. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let the height of the room be \( h \) meters. According to the problem: - Length \( l = 2h \) - Breadth \( b = \frac{3}{2}h \) ### Step 2: Calculate the Curved Surface Area (CSA) of the Room The cost of whitewashing the walls is given as ₹3584 at the rate of ₹32 per square meter. To find the area that was whitewashed (which is the curved surface area of the room), we can use the formula: \[ \text{Curved Surface Area (CSA)} = 2h(l + b) \] Substituting the values of \( l \) and \( b \): \[ CSA = 2h(2h + \frac{3}{2}h) = 2h(\frac{4h + 3h}{2}) = 2h(\frac{7h}{2}) = 7h^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Area from Cost The total area can also be calculated from the total cost of whitewashing: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Cost per sq. m}} = \frac{3584}{32} = 112 \text{ sq. m} \] Thus, we have: \[ 7h^2 = 112 \] ### Step 4: Solve for Height \( h \) Now, we can solve for \( h \): \[ h^2 = \frac{112}{7} = 16 \] \[ h = \sqrt{16} = 4 \text{ meters} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Length and Breadth Now that we have \( h \): - Length \( l = 2h = 2 \times 4 = 8 \text{ meters} \) - Breadth \( b = \frac{3}{2}h = \frac{3}{2} \times 4 = 6 \text{ meters} \) ### Step 6: Calculate the Area of the Floor The area of the floor (which is a rectangle) can be calculated as: \[ \text{Area of Floor} = l \times b = 8 \times 6 = 48 \text{ sq. m} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Cost of Tiling the Floor The cost of tiling the floor at the rate of ₹135 per sq. m is: \[ \text{Cost of Tiling} = \text{Area of Floor} \times \text{Cost per sq. m} = 48 \times 135 \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Cost of Tiling} = 6480 \text{ rupees} \] ### Final Answer The cost of tiling the floor of the room is **₹6480**. ---
