Solution

Ratio in length and breadth =7 : 4

Perimeter =110 m

Length +Breadth =1102=55m

Sum of ratios =7+4=11

Length =55×711=35m and breadth =\frac{55 \times 4}{11}=20 m

(i)Area of floor =l×b =35×20=700m2

(ii)Size of tile =25 cm × 20 cm

=25×20100×100

=120m2

Number of tiles

=Area of floorArea of one tile

=700×201=14000

(iii)Cost of tiles =Rs 1400 per 100 tiles

Toal cost =14000×1400100

=Rs 196000
