Solution

The cost of preparing 4 walls of a room whose length is 12 m is Rs 340.20 at a rate of Rs 1.35/m2. Area of the four walls of the room=total costrate=Rs 340.20Rs 1.35=252 m2Also, the cost of matting the floor at 85 paise/m2 is Rs 91.80. Area of the floor=total costrate=Rs 91.80Rs 0.85=108 m2Hence, breadth of the room=area of the floorlength=10812=9 mSuppose that the height of the room is h m.Then, we have:Area of four walls=2×(length×height+breadth×height)252=2×(12×h+9×h)252=2×(21h)21h=2522=126h=12621=6 m The height of the room is 6 m.
