Question

The area of the floor of a rectangular hall of length 60 m is 1200 m². The dimensions of the carpet available is size 8 m $\times$ 6 m .Hence 25 such carpets are required to cover the hall.

• A. 40
• B. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is A

40

First, we need to calculate the area of one carpet:

Area of one carpet = 8 $\times$ 6 = 48 $m^2$.

Since total area of the floor of the hall = 1200 $m^2$.

Therefore, number of carpets required = $\frac{areaoffloor}{areaofonecarpet}$ = $\frac{1200}{48}$ = 25.
