Solution

The correct option is C

72


Given a square room of side = 6 m.
Area of each tile = 0.5 m2
We know that, area of a square = Side × Side
Area of a square room
= 6 × 6 = 36 m2.

So, number of tiles required
= Area of roomArea of a single tile
= 360.5 = 72
Hence, Karan should buy 72 tiles to cover the floor of his room.
