The cost of plastering the 4 walls of a room which is 4m high and breadth one third of its length is Rs. 640 at the rate of Rs. 5/m². What will be the cost of carpeting its floor at the rate of Rs. 250/m².

Rs. 32,000

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 4m

let length = x m

breadth = x/3 m

Area of the 4 walls = 2(length × height) + 2(breadth × height)

Area = 2(4×x) + 2(4 × x/3) = 8x + (8x)/3

Area = (32x)/3 m²

1 m² = Rs. 5

The cost for an area that is (32x)/3 m²=  (32x)/3  × 5 Rs.

The cost of plastering 4 walls at Rs.5 per m² = 640

(32x)/3  × 5  = 640

(160x)/3 = 640

x = length = 12

Area =  (32x)/3 m² = (32×12)/3 = 128m²

The cost of carpeting its floor at the rate of Rs. 250/m²:

= 128m² × Rs. 250/m² = 32,000

The cost of carpeting its floor at the rate of Rs. 250/m² = Rs. 32,000
